A Painful Incredulity: Psychopathy and Cognitive Dissonance
<https://psychopathyawareness.wordpress.com/2011/07/29/a-painful-incredulity-psy
chopathy-and-cognitive-dissonance/philippe_pache_01/>
Almost everyone involved with a psychopath goes through a phase (and
form) of *denial*. Its very tough to accept the sad reality that the
person who claimed to be your best friend or the love of your life is
actually a backstabbing snake whose sole purpose in life is humiliating
and dominating those around him. Rather than confront this reality, some
victims go into denial entirely. They arent ready to accept any part of
the truth, which, when suppressed, often surfaces in anxiety, projection
and nightmares.
At some point, however, the evidence of a highly disturbed personality
shows through, especially once the psychopath is no longer invested in a
given victim and thus no longer makes a significant effort to keep his
mask on. Then total denial is no longer possible. *The floodgates of
reality suddenly burst open and a whole slew of inconsistencies,
downright lies, manipulations, criticism and emotional abuse flows
through to the surface of our consciousness*.
However, even then its difficult to absorb such painful information all
at once. Our heart still yearns for what we have been persuaded, during
the luring phase, was our one true love. Our minds are still filled with
memories of the so-called good times with the psychopath. Yet, the truth
about the infidelities, the constant deception, the manipulation and the
backstabbing can no longer be denied. We cant undo everything we
learned about the psychopath; we cannot return to the point of original
innocence, of total blindness. *The result is* *a* *contradictory
experience*: *a kind of internal battle between clinging to denial and

accepting the truth*.


*Cognitive dissonance* *is a painful incredulity marked by this inner
contradiction in the victims attitude towards the victimizer*. In
*1984*, perhaps the best novel about brainwashing that occurs in
totalitarian regimes, *George Orwell* coined his own term for this inner
contradiction: he called it *doublethink*. Doublethink is not logical,
but it is a common defense mechanism for coping with deception,
domination and abuse. Victims engage in doublethink, or cognitive
dissonance, in a partly subconscious attempt to reconcile the
contradictory claims and behavior of the disordered individuals who have
taken over their lives.
The denial itself can take several forms. It can manifest itself as the
continuing idealization of the psychopath during the luring phase of the
relationship or it can be shifting the blame for what went wrong in the
relationship from him, the culprit, to ourselves, or to other victims.
*In fact, the easiest solution is to blame neither oneself nor the
psychopath, but other victims*. How often have you encountered the
phenomenon where people who have partners who cheat on them lash out at
the other women (or men) instead of holding their partners accountable
for their actions? Its far easier to blame someone youre not
emotionally invested in than someone you love, particularly if you still
cling to that person or relationship.
*Other victims project the blame back unto themselves*. They accept the
psychopaths projection of blame and begin questioning themselves: what
did I do wrong, to drive him away? What was lacking in me that he was so
negative or unhappy in the relationship? Was I not smart enough,
virtuous enough, hard-working enough, beautiful enough, sexy enough,
attentive enough, submissive enough etc.
When one experiences cognitive dissonance, the rational knowledge about
psychopathy doesnt fully sink in on an emotional level. Consequently,
the victim moves constantly back and forth between the idealized fantasy
and the pathetic reality of the psychopath. *This is a very confusing
process and an emotionally draining one as well*. Initially, when youre
the one being idealized by him, the fantasy is that a psychopath can
love you and that he is committed to you and respects you. Then, once
youve been devalued and/or discarded, the fantasy remains that he is
capable of loving others, just not you. That you in particular werent
right for him, but others can be. This is the fantasy that the
psychopath tries to convince every victim once they enter the devalue
phase. Psychopaths truly believe this because they never see anything
wrong with themselves or their behavior, so if theyre no longer excited
by a person, they conclude it must be her (or his) fault; that she (or
he) is deficient.
Because you put up with emotional abuse from the psychopath you were
with and recently been through the devaluation phasein fact, for you it
was long and drawn-outyou have absorbed this particular fantasy despite
everything you know about psychopaths incapacity to love or even care
about others. But with time and no contact, the rational knowledge and
the emotional will merge, and this last bit of illusion about the
psychopath will be dissolved.
Cognitive dissonance is part and parcel of being the victim of a
personality disordered individual. It doesnt occur in healthy
relationships for several reasons:

1) healthy individuals may have good and bad parts of their


personalities, but they dont have a Jekyll and Hyde personality; a mask
of sanity that hides an essentially malicious and destructive self. In a
healthy relationship, theres a certain transparency: basically, what
you see is what you get. People are what they seem to be, flaws and all.
2) healthy relationships arent based on emotional abuse, domination and
a mountain of deliberate lies and manipulation
3) healthy relationships dont end abruptly, as if they never even
happened because normal people cant detach so quickly from deeper
relationships
4) conversely, however, once healthy relationships end, both parties
accept that and move on. There is no stalking and cyberstalking, which
are the signs of a disordered persons inability to detach from a
dominance bond: a pathetic attempt at reassertion of power and control
over a relationship thats over for good
*Cognitive dissonance happens in those cases where theres an
unbridgeable contradiction between a dire reality and an increasingly
implausible fantasy which, once fully revealed, would be so painful to
accept, that youd rather cling to parts of the fantasy than confront
that sad reality and move on.*
Relatedly, cognitive dissonance is also a sign that the psychopath still
has a form of power over you: that his distorted standards still have a
place in your brain. That even though you may reject him on some level,
on another his opinions still matter to you. Needless to say, they
shouldnt. He is a fraud; his opinions are distorted; his ties to
others, even those he claims to love, just empty dominance bonds.
Rationally, you already know that his opinions and those of his
followers should have no place in your own mental landscape. * *
*But if emotionally you still care about what he thinks or feels, then
you are giving a disordered person too much power over you: another form
of cognitive dissonance, perhaps the most dangerous. Cut those imaginary
ties and cut the power chords that still tie you to a pathological
person, his disordered supporters and their abnormal frame of reference.
*Nothing good will ever come out of allowing a psychopath and his
pathological defenders any place in your heart or mind. The schism
between their disordered perspective and your healthy one creates the
inner tension that is also called cognitive dissonance. To eliminate
this inner tension means to free yourself body, heart and mindfrom the
psychopath, his followers and their opinions or standards. What they do,
say, think or believe and the silly mind games they choose to
playsimply does not matter.

Claudia,
Your gift for writing what I feel and or share, as many others do
here, is amazing. It is a true and real gift. This article is
nothing less than wonderful.
Having said that, I guess the mantra about the psychopath remains,
even though you spoke about it rather eloquently : Cognitive
dissonance DOES NOT occur in healthy relationships. It occurs only
in abusive relationships, namely, but not limited too, the
relationship with the psychopath. Thanks for writing this Claudia.
Its one of the best articles so far! Kelli

BINGO!!! I needed to read this article tonight. I remember suffering
so badly during the last few months of our contact by phone, the
horrible degrading manner in which he spoke to me, (talking to me
like I was a prostitute) after I would hang up the exact things
would race thru my mind in what Claudia outlined, I would start to
think why does he only see this way, and why did he take me off the
pedistal I was once on, he still is with his GF so he must treat her
with more respect so the Cog Dis hit me in the third example you
outlined I would start to doubt myself rather than say OMG he is so
disordered and be done with it. I never blamed him but myself as I
still do at times. Its very important to remain NC because of this
for with every contact the psychopath will make you doubt yourself,
and/or degrade and demean you as much as he can and you are left
with COg DIS it tears at you heart and makes you go almost insane.
Its also important to remember NOBODY HEALTHY goes from idolizing a
person to degrading them in the way a personality disordered person
does. Which only further confirms how the whole idolization phase
was a such a scam and lie and act from day one. x0 Linda

Kelli and Linda, thanks. I read your comments and they make me think
about new articles, since weve all been through very similar
experiences. I really do believe that only those who have somehow
seen a psychopath at work can know the manner in which he thinks
inside/out, although of course reading what psychologists and
therapists have to say about it, from an external perspective, is
also essential. Claudia

COG DIS is pure mental torture!!!!! After having been with one of
these very disturbed individuals we walk around with this mental

torture when there is absolutely no need at all to feel this way


about ourselves. Here is a good one for you a few days ago at work I
asked a fellow co worker hey do you know what Cog Dis is? She said,
what is THAT I have never heard of it, tears started to fill my eyes
because at that moment I wish I was her and all the others out there
who have never experienced the infliction of it. I thought of all
the things he once promised me and never in a million years would I
have believed all he ever gave me in the end was a shattered life,
heart and COG DIS. Talk about empty promises, thanks so much you
freak, nice knowing ya!!!!

Another brilliant article! It really gets to the heart of the
disordered relationship with a pyschopath and the toxic aftermath
the victim endures.
I know I am going to sound somewhat vindictive and psychopathic
here, but when do I get to WIN? It seems like the pyschopath gets to
go through life causing extreme pain and devastation to everyone
around him, and they never suffer one bit. I was reading that
psychopaths dont typically even feel depression or sadness, rarely
do they committ suicide. Their victims on the other hand..

Mari: You win by disengaging, its a very personal victory but how
you win is by getting your life back. I try not to focus and dwell
on the fact he got off scott free as they say. You were dealing with
someone who has no remorse and no conscience. Who is the winner in
the end? They have a host of all sorts of mental inflictions can you
really look at this person and think he is a winner? Jumping from
one target/victim to the next with his only intent and goal in life
is to dupe one after the next to serve and cater to his disorder? No
my friend you are the winner, I am the winner. Look to the right on
this blog and see the category, signs you are dating a loser, or
maybe social predators or the words, evil, terror, sadists
because that is what this person will go on doing long after we are
out of their lives let them bask in their full glory but you are a
winner because you have come to know personally what they are and
what they do. When you watch programs and documentaries on
psychopaths do you see them as winners? Most of the general public
thinks of them as SICK WE ARE WINNERS because we are NOT sick, I
look at his ability to discard me and move on as something very very
sick and disturbed. Just my input its a personal victory I hold
close to my heart. x0x0 Linda

Linda,
Yes, you are absolutely right.
The psychopath in my life is a self-made millionaire with a wife and
three children. I look at him and think how easy his life must be
while I have struggled emotionally and in other ways in life (not
just due to him). He lives behind his smug lying mask and nothing
ever seems to hurt him or go wrong for him. But you are right,
ultimately he is a loser, an empty shell, barely human.

Mari, Linda and everyone: you get to win when you disengage from the
psychopath in all respects and move on with your life. Martha Stout
ends The sociopath next door with the following saying: Living well
is the best revenge. For as long as you remain invested in the
psychopath, even if only in the form of bitterness or revenge, he
wins. If he contacts you in any way, record it to prove a pattern of
stalking to the authorities, so he can be arrested. If he
cyberstalks you by email, keep in mind that even rerouted IP
addresses can be identified by the police. If he calls, let your
answering machine do the talking and, once again, keep the recorded
message as evidence of stalking. Psychopaths need supply and
control. Thats the only reason they continue to harass former
targets. They cant move on because of their fixation on power. But
you can move on and thats the best thing you can do. Claudia

Marni- Mine also is a millionaire but hey what can I say bin laden
lived in a multi million dollar fortress when he was killed, mmmmm
DO NOT be deceived by what others have those are just the material
things in life I ask myself all the time would I be happy being his
live in GF living in his $$$$$ home knowing he was a psychopath
and/or sexual predator doing what he does behind my back, would I be
willing to sell my soul in exchange for living in luxury? I THINK
NOT. Do you think their life is EASY, having to wear masks 24-7? You
see in order for them to lure and dupe others they must wear their
masks and that is a fact for if I saw him that fateful night as he
really was I would have said WOE, I AM OUTTA HERE dont think this is
what I had in mind with a partner. YOUR WRONG, you just dont see
what goes wrong for them but trust me many things go wrong for them
in their life, so they throw that mask away and try a new one. I too
have struggled but the reason why we struggle is BECAUSE we have a
conscience, ethics, morals or what have you, they have NONE of those
things so life to them is just one big game and we are just pieces
to play in that game, his wife is also part of his game. Marni I
also have times I think the bastard got by doing this to me why cant
he suffer as I have suffered, dont even go there just be glad you
are no longer apart of a psychopaths sick game. Would you like to
have to wear a mask all your life to hide who you are? I would
rather have my personal struggles than to live that way, for we will
always know what personal contentment is and having the ability to

connect to others on all levels is what makes life rich and worth
living, they will never know that or have that with themselves of
anyone. Maybe I got up today and I was sad, or cried, or maybe a
puppy made me feel good but I dont have to go to my closet and pick
out which mask I am going to wear to make it thru my day or who I am
going to hurt and torture to make me feel alive because I am some
sick sadistic bastard.
So give me normal life struggles any day to what they are. x0 Linda

I think, mari and linda, that its great that youre getting this
out. I was reading on another Narc site today that the average
healing time is somewhere between eighteen months and two years.
Some shorter, some longer, with different variables. I think not
acknowledging anger, sadness, rage, whatever youre feeling is
ALLOWING you to stay in cog/dis. The key is to go with whatever
youre feeling for as long as you feel it, because even if youre
not reading this blog, a book or anything remotely close to anything
about a psychopath, the thoughts still swirl around in your head and
they will for awhile. Somehow, for me, knowing that, brings me peace
and actually lessens the cog/dis a bit. Time is truly the healer of
all the wounds the psychopath as inflicted. Be kind and gentle to
yourselves as you express and GET IT OUT! Kelli

Kelli, I completely agree: let your emotions out, discuss them,
inform yourself and others, but never engage with the psychopath or
any of his disordered defenders and cronies. They are not the
appropriate outlet for healing and moving on. Claudia

Claudia,
That is true. Engaging the spath is NOT the right thing to do even
if tempting, but again, ladies, allow your grief to happen. It will
help with the cog/dis. HUGS

Having just come out of one of these unhealthy relationships, I find
these articles incredibly helpful in the healing process. I have
many wonderful friends who love, support, and commiserate, but I
find I need help in understanding what is going on with my psyche.
Thank you for this site.

Claudia, and all- Claudia you capture the essence of cognitive
dissonance in the context of a pathological relationship
wonderfully. Cognitive dissonace is the anxiety and conflicting
emotional tensions born out of the simulataneous holding of two
dichotomised belief systems. For example; i know smoking is bad for
me and is having a potential and statistically probable catastrophic
impact on my health. On the other hand I love and value smoking. How
do i reconcile these conflicting internal schemas? I slip into
denial- ciggarettes help me de-stress, my demise through smoking
will not happen, I will quit maniana!
Because cluster Bs (a psychopathic personality construct) are as
you say Jekyll and Hyde; we are seduced of course by Jekyll, and
then as the mask begins to slip we are exposed to Hyde (what we did
not know was that Hyde was always Hyde- he / she was just well
Hyden! spelling mistake intended). Jekyll weaves a powerful spell on
us, and some! We bond, invest, connect, love so much; and with this
in mind is becomes more easy to understand our heavily weighted
cognitive and emotional bias. When Hyde shows up we engage in denial
with a whole myriad of ways of normalising increasing devaluing and
emotionally abusive behaviour. Our own lack of awareness and
comprehension of the psychopath amps up our ambivalence by a factor
of one million to the power squared. Even now; in spite of the
intensive research I have done I still struggle to comprehend the
inner landscape of these emotionless voids. We should never reproach
ourselves for believing and falling for their facade.
Mari, it is a natural feeling to wish / think badly of your
psychopath- when will I win?. With a psychopath you cannot win by
expressing your anger at the callous and or complete emotionless
disregard for the impact he had on your life. They do not know,
cannot comprehend, and they do not care on any emotional level
whatsoever. They feed off your emotional energy whether it is love
or anger you express. It has always been and forever will be all
about them and their percieved needs at any given moment.
Psychopaths will not feel remorse, regret, and sadness after you
vent to them; neither will they reflect on what you have said and
empathise with you. Jekyll was a persona; and they will drop the
persona and you with it once you begin to see through their mask.
Mari- imagine a world without love, never knowing what it feels like
to love and care for someone; in all its bittersweetness- love is
the emotion that we are here for. Imagine never being capable of a
personal narrative, a personal story that charts our growth towards
being more than what we are- by that I mean the wisdom that our own
weaknesses, vulnerabilities, faults, and flaws that moves and pushes
us towards knowing ourselves better.
Psychopathic personalitys can be and often are intelligent and
articulate; with psychoptahs we are not dealing with the ability to
cognitively learn. What we are dealing with is a person who on the
surface is a fully formed and whole person; when in reality what
they are is a walking, breathing antithesis of everything that makes

a person a person. There is no emotional / spiritual growing with


these guys and gals. trying to have a relationship with a psychopath
is like trying to take a drink from a bottomless glass; you lift the
glass to your mouth and the glass is empty (I could have sworn I
just filled the glass under the tap!). Let that be your revenge.
The first step towards resolving cognitve dissonance is accepting
and comming to terms with the fact that psychopathy is very real;
and we encountered it; up close and very personally.

Claudia, I am a bit sensitive when others say report it to the
police, ha ha ya right as mine was a county sheriff. I often think
what if I had reported a domestic rape or some kind and he came to
the call he would probably think, too bad I missed out on watching
it, However, like anyone in any profession you will get those that
are corrupt and use the position as a form of power over others. My
trust and faith in our law has not been tainted by this man this
psychopath just happen to choose this position because of the power
it gave him over others and NOT genuinely to secure the safety of
his community. A psychopath with a badge very very dangerous
combination lets see Drew Petersen comes to mind and many others
that we always read about. But sure I will take your advise and
maybe send the recordings to his captain I am sure he would really
love to hear the message of how he would love to see two men rape me
then his Captain can get a little bit of Cog DIs thrown at him!! Linda

I would like to add on to that imagine being able to say and do
ANYTHING you want with absolutely no merit of truth of any form in
order to get what you want, once you have achieved what you want
imagine knowing you almost destroyed another persons life then
imagine not ever having the emotions to FEEL what you did to
someone. I felt bad last week because I ran over a bird in the road,
I thought it would fly away but it just stayed in the path I was
driving, I looked back in my rear view mirror and there the poor
thing was flat as a pancake I thought OMG I killed it, at that
moment even though I realize it was JUST a bird I still felt bad.
They can run our lives over but they will not look back in their
rear view mirror they will just keep driving forward and we are
PEOPLE for god sakes they cant even say, I really feel kinda bad
that I screwed her over like that, I bet I really hurt her/him.
Very nicely expressed Michael, love is the emotion that we are here
for I could not imagine my life without not being able to feel what
love is and to NOT want to hurt another human being (or bird ha) So
I WIN, and he will lose the rest of his life because he will never
love. x0x0 Linda

Michael, as usual, your comments are very instructive and helpful to
everyone. The distinction between cognitive and emotional
intelligence you underscored is crucial. If psychopaths had low
intelligence in both categories theyd be dependent and harmless.
But their normal to high cognitive intelligence coupled with low
emotional intelligence makes them capable of inflicting great damage
upon others without any qualms. Claudia

Thank you all for your insightful posts. It helps so much to have
this supportive community here that really understands. I have
friends that have been very good to me during this ordeal but unless
you have been through a relationship with a psychopath, you just
cant truly wrap your mind around it. I know some of my friends
think I am being a bit paranoid and some refuse to believe that a
person can just be all evil. So, this community is a lifesaver!

Mari, youre welcome. Im also grateful for all your comments.
Unless you learn about psychopathy, you cant imagine that there are
people out there without a conscience whose sole purpose in life is
to play games with and hurt others. You may notice that even in the
cases when these psychopaths commit gruesome crimes against innocent
individuals, people tend to look for justifications for them, such
as a history of child abuse or something, anything to rationalize
their gratuitous evil acts.
The truth is that psychopathy doesnt have any excuses. Many
psychopaths are brought up in loving families yet still go on to
live a life revolving around harming others. Until we accept that a
certain percentage of the population is malicious and evilwhatever
the physiological and social causes for this personality disorder
may bewe wont be able to recognize and defend ourselves against
psychopaths.
This is why each and every website that raises public awareness
about psychopathy, narcissism and other personality disorders is
very helpful. This is not a competition among resources of support,

its a joint effort. The cumulative effect of these diverse sources


of information and support forums for victims/survivors will
eventually make a dent and reach the mainstream public: including
those who have not yet been the target of a personality disordered
person or who have been but arent aware of it. Claudia

MIchael,
Im feeling very paranoid even in expressing what I feel to others
in the positive ways that i do ie: What you say is so eloquent and
HELPFUL! Everything I say that is kind to someone now, feels like a
love bomb attempt. This is what got me into trouble with my
Psychopath from the beginning. I saw things in him that I thought
were so good and great about him. I cant go into what they are
here, but now that ive seen what he is, none of that is truth.. It
was just the superficial mask I was appreciating, the public persona
I dont know if we are allowed to exchange emails here, so I will
refrain from putting mine up, but if any of you would like to, I
would like to as well. I find this group amazingly helpful and
intelligent.
Linda, your posts are so raw, sometimes they are hard for me to
read. I believe thats because I relate so well to what youre
experiencing right now.
As I read the posts, some of them are so hard to deal with because
Im still trying to wrap my brain around what happened to me. Ive
been on another forum for a couple of days and what Im reading is
painful. It resonates with my experience with my psychopath. there
is no judgment there like there is not here, for the OW of a
psychopath experience. So many people in pain over these disordered
individuals. In some ways, its opening my heart. I know i can love,
but a lot of it feels stunted by pain. I dont know if any of you
understand that, but even just eight months out now, Im starting to
really feel the emotions of what happened to me. When someone on the
other forum told me it was not my fault and that what he had left me
with in blaming me in losing his marriage, some of his friends, the
target he was totally focused on, as well as the pancreatitis he got
as a result of his alcoholism (blamed me for being in the hospital
due to stress), I cried. I have been blaming myself and feeling
intense pain for the pain caused to his family and mine, while he
feels absolutely NOTHING about it. Where is the dividing line with
responsibility? Im taking it all on and it is more burden than I
can bear. on top of my guilt from destroying lives left and right,
Im also left with grief and sorrow from the loss of this manthe
cog/dis is not limited, for me with his Jekyll/Hyde behavior. He
told me we needed to move on. That he was done, before he was even
done.I knew he was so sick, yet I continued because i had become so
sick with him too. Its such a mess to sort through. I hope you are
all doing well. Kelli

Wouldnt it be great if there was some way of having a Register of

Psychopaths just as there is a register of paedophiles? I realise


Im probably not being very realistic and it might never be possible.
On the other hand if the brain wiring test were to be applied to
everybody in order to make it fair. Could you imagine the pain and
suffering that could be avoided or at least we could be armed
somewhat in dealing with these creatures. It could change the world.
I still think that public humiliation is probably a way to impact a
psychopath. They will do ANYTHING to preserve their image in their
world so thats where it hurts them. But ultimately they should be
criminalised and pay just like any other dangerous criminal- for
that is what they are?
Just my personal opinion from seeing how they operate. Spreading the
word about them has to be the only way to get back at them? Trying
to get the message to the new woman/man should surely be important
also? Why let others suffer knowingly? After all Evil reigns while
good people remain silent?

Tricia, good to hear from you again! How have you been? In principle
it would be good to have such a registry, but theyd still have to
be caught for some of their crimes and legally accountable. If they
dont get caught for a crime, as registered sex offenders do, how
else would there be legal proof of their pathology and wrongdoings?

Comment by Mari on August 2, 2011 3:35 am <#comment-1137>
Tricia,
I have thought the same thing many times over the past year. It
would be great to have a website of psychopaths to warn others.
There is a new website called WAC-M.com started by Casey Jones (I
have talked to her a few times and she is very committed to the
cause) which allows you to post info about con men to warn others.
However calling someone a con man (or woman) versus calling them a
psychopath are two different things, in my opinion.

I think part of the problem with posting names of psychopaths is how


can we really be sure they are on the psychopathy spectrum without
having them tested via the Hare PCL-R checklist and an MRI brain
scan through Dr. Khiel (spelling?) at UNM, for example. That might
open people up to libel/slander charges and lawsuits unless they are
sure their psychopath has been professionally diagnosed and/or
incarcerated. I would also be afraid of revenge by the psychopath
since they can be vindictive. Seeing their name on a website warning
others might push them over the edge into being violent. What are
your thoughts on that, Claudia?
My ex-psychopath who is a millionaire and now retired wants to
become a schoolteacher. How awful! Think of the damage he could do
with vulnerable children to control and dominate. I think there
should be federal laws that all teachers need to be given thre PCL-R
test before they are hired, along with being checked to make sure
they are not sex offenders.

But you can move on and thats the best thing you can do.
I am feeling so much sadness in moving on and letting him go, I know
moving on is the best thing I can do for myself and although I never
want to see him again I am also sad I will never see him again. I am
left now not even knowing who the hell I am, I only know ONE thing
no matter how lost, and alone I feel at this stage I can never turn
to the illusion of him to fill that void, some little fantasy I
never wanted to let go of. I miss the terms of endearment he once
called me, that in the end turned into vile, degrading terms, I miss
how he once made me feel like the most important person in the world
and in the end he barely threw me crumbs, I will miss feeling sooooo
loved even though it was nothing close to love I wonder will I ever
feel again? All of those things I just described were all an act for
me but I STILL felt loved and cherished beyond anything I have ever
felt before. In the end they say, ha ha jokes on you and you fell
for it hook line and sinker. Now I have to throw the whole damn
thing out the window as if it never existed because it really didnt,
just turn off my love like a faucet because that person I loved was
a fake and fraud. Sometimes I want to say, how do you really move on
from something like that, the only thing that keeps me moving on is
knowing he was disordered, and a psychopath. Just sad today x0 Linda

Again this in an excellent article and sums up so precisely the
total confusion that sets into your (healthy) mind after the break
down of a relationship with a path, in short the feeling that YOU
are the mad one. There is so much turmoil in your head: the sadness
of leaving someone you love (well the person they sold you), their
total hatred for you, the trying to work things out and coming up
against more hate and anything you say or suggest being twisted,
then (in my case) the communication making out they miss you then
for you only to find out its just to use you, the sweeping mood

swings with you from pretending to be the person they were at the
start to the hateful spiteful nobody they actually are, the abusive
texts and phone calls if you dont do what they say and then the
brutal swift cut off from them: you deal with all of that whilst you
get over in your own head what on earth has come into your life and
destroyed it. It is the most awful, mind blowing, confusing
situation to deal with and the only way you can is with no contact,
time, and having people around you that can listen to you as you
need to get it out whenever you feel you have to talk about it. You
cannot bottle it up. Claudia, your site has helped me so much and I
know I say it a lot but it really has. The descriptions that you
give of these sub-species, the situations, their behaviour, it
makes things so much clearer in my head (and i hope in anyones head
that is lucky enough to find your site) and saves you from
destroying yourself from within. Which i think, is what these sick,
twisted losers want you to do.
Thanks Claudia. Another great informative piece of writing and again
it hits the nail on the head. You are just brilliant.

Also Also I meant to say that I was a victim that blamed myself
totally for the failure of The Relationship (as he always referred
to it as) though my gut always told me that no I was not to blame
and that there was something seriously wrong with this person. He
blamed me for us failing because i didnt drive the car enough, I did
not have enough hobbies (id only just moved 500 miles to be with
him and had just managed to get a job and start to make friends),
that i coughed too much, that I always wore white tshirts or white
tops (??!), that he loved every other ex more than he loved me
(actually he then admitted he never loved me), that he was
interested in people that had a lot going on their lives and I was,
quite frankly, dull. The list goes on of the blame he piled onto me.
But it was not my fault, the only mistake (and it was one I shall
never forget!) was to fall in love with someone that did not exist.
As we all have on this site. But as Michael says, you cannot win
with them, you can express any emotion you like to them. They simply
do NOT care. Once you feel stronger and have not heard from them for
a while you gain more and more perspective and the mist on your lens
starts to clear. And definitely with help from this site and others.

Lesley,
I completely agree with you. I was the blame, hell she blamed things
she was guilty of on me. They have this image of there own
perfection stuck in that vast empty head of theirs. I fought the
blame game, in fact still fighting. Although through education it is
getting easier. She was so bad and convincing that I went to two
therapist to find out what was wrong with me. The funny thing is
both therapist told me they did not see anything outside of the norm
with me. In a sense she stole normalcy from me and created her own
little delusional world in my head and I,m starting to find my way
back to reality or what is viewed as reality to the normal mind. I
am just completely amazed at the similarity of the stories on this

site. Gender doesnt seam to make a difference. A path is a path.

Hi Gary
Thank you, yes I think they try their damndest to make sure their
partners take the blame. And really, it could be no other way for
them as they are perfect and see nothing wrong with themselves or
with the way they treat their partners. Though mine used to sit and
cry and feel sorry for himself over his PAST loves I hasten to add
and how bad he felt about what had happened with them, but Im
sure it was just as more punishment to me as then I would think..oh
gosh why did he love them so much and not me?? And you are right
they blame you for things THEY do..but its only to deflect it from
them so that you are so busy worrying about doing things right for
them that you forget to think about what they are doing behind your
back!! They just project all their negative facets onto us then
character assassinate us. And yes you are right again, they seem to
be exactly the same whatever gender and everyones experiences and
stories are so so similar. Its slightly worrying! But also such a
support as you know that you are in touch with people that TOTALLY
understand what you mean, what you have been through and are
knowledgeable in these horrible, self immersed evil people. Though
some of my friends have said that my ex is the most evil person they
have ever heard of, they do not understand the problems i have faced
with the cutting off, the mentally dealing with the vileness of him
(i.e. the cognitive dissonance) and so this site and all your posts
and comments definitely have made me stronger and more positive
about my own self really!

Also Gary my ex said he went to counselling for 5 years (for his ex
gfs sake supposedly so he could deal with his jealousy issues..)
the only thing he ever mentioned from that was that the counsellor
had said he needed to embrace his dark side..i.e to be more
promiscuous (that is how my ex took it) to do anything sexually he
liked..anyway my point is that the scenario with the path is so
hopeless that its irrelevant who goes for helpbecause A. if you are
questioning yourself then there is a 99.9% chance it aint you! and
B. If they go they will probably lie to their counsellers about what
is wrong with them, and I personally think it made my ex worse. I
think it opened the floodgates for him to think that his behaviour
was acceptable as he had gleaned this advice (though he had no doubt
lied and also twisted anything the counsellor said) from a
professional. However, I did tell him that I hoped he hadnt paid
for it and if he had he should get his money back as if anything he
was even more mentally unhinged than before he went..hahaha..i try
to make light of itbut we all know..its a shocking situation with
these types..

Lesley, thanks so much. I just reread one of your earlier messages
that clarified something about my psychopathic exs behavior. He had
a penchant for sex in semi-public or public sex, which I found
incredibly unsettling and bizarre. You called it dogging and I
looked that up to find out its actually a name for a sexual
perversion, a kind of exhibitionism/voyeurism. Apparently a lot of
psychopaths like this sort of thing because theyre constantly
seeking new thrills. They seek every perversion known to man (or
woman) to escape the emptiness of their hearts. Claudia

Lesley and Gary, the devaluation phase is not pleasant. But, as you
both state, its not really about you. Its a projection of the
psychopaths inner emptiness, as Ive said before. You are boring to
them because everything and everyone is eventually boring to them.
My psychopathic ex would call me to complain that his parents bored
him out of his mind (when theyd visit him) and that his wife was
as familiar as a pair of old shoes, even after she went to extreme
lengths, moving away, setting up their new house, losing weight,
exercising several hours a day: all this to please a pathological
man. Nothing worked, needless to say. He still was tired of her and
cheated on her with every woman and man he could find, both in
person and online. Im writing a new post for tomorrow about why the
idealization phase only happens once with a psychopath and why
nothing anyone does can make it come back. Its part and parcel of
the psychopathic bond: theres only one honeymoon phase and even
that one is a total fraud. Claudia

phase, which is especially painful because you now realize that
youre mourning a man that never existed, an illusion made of lies,
hiding his true identity and false promises. But you will get
better. And allowing yourself to feel this pain and to accept
reality is a necessary step to moving on. Were here for you. Claudia

Claudia, and all. I have often wondered about the idealisation phase
of my encounter.was it real? was it all a fraud? what was going
through her mind at that time when she was so into me?
My view is that she believed I was it! she truly did idealise me;
and in her mind I was it- the next thing she was on; a hit, the
excitement, the fantasy, the perfect answer to her perfect self. We
are seduced into this world of fantasy; their fantasy. We do not
know or imagine that we are swept up in a fantasy that is

piggybacked on the devaluation of their once previous idealised


partner; we were next in line and we did not know it. Through a
chance encounter we were targeted and seduced with vigour, and
seduced we were.
Did it feel so intense for yous as well? Psychopaths home in and
focus on us with great gusto; does this ring true? She made me feel
like we had joined and connected in a special soul mate connection;
a companionship; an exclusivity that only we could share. Our
intimacy was specialoh so very special. we infered our feelings (of
course we would given what they said to us) onto them. We make a
fundamental attribution error that seals our fate for emotional
devastation. In other words we naturally assume they have bonded
with us in a similar / same way we have with them.
What we did not know, and what they will never admit is that what
they are lacking is the followingThey live in the here and now; literally- they are driven only by
their here and now impulses.
They believe that it will be you that will push them through their
lack of emotion; they endow us with an abiltity to push them through
their inability to feel love.
Because they are mistaken; and they are incapable of feeling love;
they blame us- and there lies the truth of their conceit and lack of
insight, and responsibilty- they conclude if i do not love this
person it is because this person is unlovable, or I dont love them
and so on. It never occurs to them that even if they fell out of
love with you that this brings with it emotional tides of change,
loss, pain, and the feelings associated with a failed relationship
with someone they once had deep feelings for. How many of you have
had the experience of your ex displaying no sadness, grief,
emotional pain etc?
Their inability to love is projected onto us and they make it our
problem.
What about everything they shared and said to us? Their declarations
of love? Did you notice that at best they may have said something
along the lines of I meant it when i said it, or worst; deny
having said it in the first place, or interact with you as though
you never had those conversations? Dids it feel like now you see
them, feel them; now you dont? And vice versa?
Psychopaths (i.e. cluster Bs borderlines, narcissists) have no
past, or future; they skip through life like a slate thrown across a
stretch of water. Everything is here and now; and this is a key
issue that is helpful in our understanding why and how they caused
us so much gut wrenching heart destroying confusion.
What I gain comfort from is that through all their dichotomies; an
encounter with a psychopath plants the seeds of our salvation.
Love to you all

Michael, thanks as always for your input. Your writing is, indeed,
both poetic and perceptive. I also had the impression during the
psychopaths luring phase that he believed in the intensity of his
feelings: but only in that moment. The next hour hed deliberately
taint our romantic memories by inviting an escort in the same
place. Psychopaths cant bond more deeply but also the little they
can and do bond they deliberately sabotage.
To them emotional bonding means loss of their control and, as we
know, they never want to abdicate control. The best they can do is
feeling intensely in the moment, when they perceive your own
pleasure and love reflected in your eyes. Its an exciting sign of
their own power over you. They can mirror your emotion as well, in a
kind of passion and desire for possession, that is very fleeting yet
intense. I wrote about this in my novel, The Seducer:
Michael noticed that his girlfriends eyes lit up like someone in a
delirium. So are you, he replied, feeling like she was the one. At
that moment, he wanted Ana to be completely his, from head to toe,
from morning to night, as if the present were a living fossil
perpetually frozen in the transparent layers of time. He was
especially drawn to the ecstatic mixture of wonder and abandon he
saw in her eyes. I will love you for as long as I see my love
reflected in your eyes, he vowed. With a possessive yet understated
gesture, his hand grasped the flat of her throat and rested there,
immobile, as he covered her ear and cheek with a flurry of kisses.

Isnt it just the cruelest thing to do to another? To give them what
every human being dreams of perfect love and all the dreams they
ever had were going to come true. The love of another for the rest
of their days. The long strong arms holding us protecting
us..Stay with me always Trish.please? I got little cards with
this written on. I couldnt pass him without being stopped and held
and told just how much he loved me.
All the while he was with others and persuing others. I still play
the mantras(he used to play) to try sometimes to get a little bit of
that time back.
It was all a mirage. Why would anyone do that? Emotional cruelty
beyond description.

Im not doing too badly Claudia thanks. I joined a life drawing group
and came across a website called www.meetups.com. Its a good way
to make yourself get out and make new acquaintances. There are
meetups for all kinds of things so I would recommend it to those
who are ready to get moving again . I basically stayed in my bedroom
for about 8 months (I had a hysterectomy in Nov so was also dealing
with that).
HE has of course moved on and been with several women but has
moved in with a wonderful woman whos love keeps him buoyant at
this time !!!!!! They are writing a childrens book together!!!
Isnt that lovely for him?
Im writing a book also.the title is :

Tricia, Im glad that youre doing relatively well, all things
considered (recovering from the surgery and the psychopath).
Unfortunately for the new woman, nobody keeps a psychopath buoyant
all the time except his own hot air. They get bored with everyone,
and even before they reach that stage, during the honeymoon phase,
they still sabotage the relationship in a quest for control. Hes
saying that primarily to make you jealous, and cause more suffering.
I hope that you wont let it bother you. Theres nothing to envy
about anyone involved with a psychopath, as you know. Its the least
enviableand most undesirablerelationship of all. Claudia

Hello Everyone.

I posted this on another forum to which Im also finding great


healing. No judgments on where im at, should be.today was a
monumental event, a great epiphany for me, so Im going to copy what
I put on that forum here and then explain this breakthrough. I hope
it will help you in your healing as it is indeed, helping me. God is
good.
Sometimes, if you are lucky enough to see karma happen,
particularly to one who was once your best friend, it isnt always
what you think it will be.
If you have compassion and love in your heart, once the ex
psychopath has destroyed this person too and still attempts too,
when you see their illness in your face, when they look so much
older, tired, lostit isnt fun. It is a depth of sadness, if you
are human, that exposes us to the extreme amount of damage a
psychopath doeshe may have blown in and out of my life a long time
ago, and at the time, he did for 20 years, but the destruction to my
best friend in going with him was worse. THey find the most
vulnerable. Those with the most heartache to inflict and inject
their endless amounts of poison into. Friendships ruined, families
destroyedand yet he keeps pursuing her.for his own selfish needs,
no matter how ill she isand she still wants to believe there is love
My heart is aching today for her. It also helped to heal me in many
ways from the last relationship with a P, as I was the OW, in
understanding that she really doesnt have it much better, in fact,
sometimes, much worse.
But it all comes down to the same thing. They destroy lives. They
leave a lifetime of broken hearts, abandoned, torn apart families,
abandoned children, manipulation if there is still involvement with
current children, disaster upon disaster
After my meeting with her this morning, the ex BFF/OW of ExPh, I had
an epiphany of sorts, even though terribly sad. He ruined our
friendship. He ruined years of friendship. He ripped apart the lives
of our children, hers and mine, who were so close and were growing
up together. He caused intensive pain, suffering agony. waBecause of
what she believed in his charm and early love bombing, we were
spared more grief directly from himbut she was not. To her, I owe
my life and my children owe her their sanity. This is not what
happened to her or her life..and to this new wife of ex P, I owe
the same, although I will never know a thing about it.
Today my heart grieves deeply for her. For our friendship. the time
lost the childrens hearts so broken, her healthall due to one man
who had no control over his desire to take out the lives of many,
when his life of one was completely meaningless without the ability
ruin and destroy the lives of others.
My ex best friend ran off with my ex P as our marriage was
crumbling. I was also beginning involvement with my now ex P bf.
What hurt so much about my ex best friend doing this with ex P, was
the lies he told her about me. About the children. One of the things
she did, while believing his monumental LIES about me was this: She
called on the phone one day and talked to my girls, who were older
at the time I can help your daddy, dont want you want someone who
can help your daddy? They were sickened. I was distraught. I hated
her then. I absolutely HATED her. They were in honeymoon phase. He

lied to her and lied to herand even his family believed that I was
a torturous bitch. the lies he told her about me, spread out over
years so she wouldnt leaveyet he quit his job so she would get one
and take care of him. He drank, was severely alcoholic and his job
was to watch her granddaughter during the day. He abused HER
daughter that came to live with them, as she abandoned her four
children to be with him. our lives and families were ripped apart.
Devastated. All due to his lies.
So today, as she asked for forgiveness, heard all the lies.and he
even used ME as the lieIll always love KelliI will never love a
woman more than she..that was a LIE to make HER feel insecure.
I forgive her. My children and hers still love one another very
much. They were brought up together virtually on a daily basis for
years and consider one another cousins.Because of the bitterness
and his LIES, they didnt know if they could talk to one another.
Some of them are. I dearly love her children. Today when I visited,
they hugged me and had big smiles on their faces..they remember and
have not forgotten..I still love them too.it is my sincere hope
that through all of this, we all can find healing.
But that remains to be seen.
My point here is, that Ive played on both sides of the fence. as
wife and as OW. Neither is a happy one. For both, I threw away my
moral compass. When I was married to my ex P, I threw away my moral
compass for fathfulness and God. I neglected my children
emotionally, and their pain, I neglected my friends. I blew off
others who knew the truth. There was no virtue or morality in being
his wife. I believed the lie. Morality didnt exist when he asked me
to look the other way, even though it was unspoken. As the OW,
thats less politically correct, yet asked me to throw away my moral
compass but in a different way. Others were hurt, just as they were
in my marriage. And thats what a psychopath DOES to others. There
are miles and MILES of heartache and grief for every survivor who
lives through it.
I still maintain my heart and my compassion and I thank GOD for that
right now.
Julian, I disagree with the idea that I hang onto victimhood.
I hang on as a survivor, but I will never AGAIN, EVER, do what a
psychopath has asked me to do, time and time again: Neglect, ignore
and BLOW OFF what is natural to me as a thinking, feeling human
being. I feel GREAT sadness now. My mistake was made in NOT feeling
it at all.
Never again.

Michael
Once again your writings are so clear and sum up exactly how the
situation is and how these types make you feel. Yes, my ex made me

feel love like nothing else. It didnt help that I have been crazy
about him since age 12 and he made me so sure that he felt the same
(saying oh ive never forgotten the first time i saw you when we
were 12saying all the things that you had felt at that time.) when
I thought he had NEVER noticed meso when we met when we were both
42 i thought that maybe, we were meant to be together. He even said
that hed inwardly said to himself..this time Lesley, youll be
mine.. in one of my last conversations with him he said that
meeting you and taking you away from your husband was the biggest
mistake i made in my lifeI am not the type to be able to deal with
that kind of responsibilityhe also said that he does not know what
he felt when we first met up again, why he did what he didhe said
IF it even was love I felt for you, I think it was just all sex to
be honest Lesley..I think i just lost my mind for a while as it was
craziness getting involved with someone like you note the blame
inflicted in all those quotes. The only thing he ever admitted was
that he pressured me to leave my husband..but he always added a
caveat of he shouldnt have involved himself with that situation..
So Michael, what im trying to say is yes..they hit you with the
full force of their love for you..they are everything you ever
wanted them to be, and in the end everything you would NEVER want
them to be. I think what sums my ex up to me is the song by Neil
Young Hurricane, i want to love you but I just keep blown away.
Ironically my ex sang that song in the band he was inand i am sure
he knew that it was how he treated every single girl that he ever
decided he was going to destroy.
Lots of love to you and please keep writing your posts. You and
Claudia are great.

Tricia, I agree with what you stated, its the cruelest thing you
could do to another loving human being, to FAKE your feelings for
another person, have sex with them as the other person is loving
them deeply and sharing themselves in such a personal intimate way,
while the whole time the psychopath you were with felt NOTHING for
you, this is where I felt RAPED I was raped by him for years and
never really understood that he really felt NOTHING for me, he was
probably testing me like some pimp.
Truly truly disordered and very sick
while I know it was nothing I did to
nevertheless I was still a victim of
the word victim the word CRIME comes
because they are criminals. Linda

I also was on a forum for a few months and while it was initially a
great help, after time I decided to pull back a little. It seemed

that many were there for a long time and still had not moved forward
very much. Many were mothers who helped each other with tips on how
to behave when they meet their P to hand over the child. Should they
wear sunglasses , not to make eye contact etc. I just found that I
was getting a bit annoyed because I felt the main issue was should
they be handing over their child AT ALL to their ex P! I also felt
and have seen with my own ex P where the child is used by BOTH but
for different reasons!
My ex used the child to get attention from new women (what a lovely
man hes so good with his daughter) and it worked wonders for him.
The mother of his child used her to keep up the contact with him
because she couldnt bear to have no contact and still remains a
chief enabler as does another ex. Also all of their friends wave to
him and seem to think hes great so it doesnt seem like his exs
are bad mouthing him?? I put an article from this site up on my
facebook wall and one of his exs put up a notice on her wall :STOP PSYCHIATRIC LABELLING
I feel i could be lynched by them for him and they will never warn
the new woman. His power is unbelievable. i really am alone because
I didnt have a child with him. All the other Mothers (x3) are in
contact with each other. Of course these women are also waiting for
his Mother to die (as he is) and gain from his inheritence.
Now he uses that child to look after the New Womans six year old
daughter!! Oh and he was big into Teen Porn!!
Yet people tell me not to warn the new woman?? Let her find out
herself, is what most people tell me. Im so puzzled as to why we
should not warn them. If you saw somebody about to jump into a pool
and you knew a shark was in there, wouldnt you say something? Help
me here?
Im sorry for rambling , it seems to be part of the cog. diss.?
I sometimes think my mind has been damaged badly.

Tricia, in the future Ill write a post about the subject of warning
others as well. In a nutshell, I think its something to handle with
great caution, unless youve been defrauded and are taking legal
action against the psychopath. Donna Andersens situation, as she
describes it in her book Love Fraud, is a great example of when its
a good idea to warn other women. Then in getting in touch with other
victims of psychopathic fraud youre both helping them and
strengthening your case. You also have legal grounds for your
allegations.
In other situations, however, Id be very careful because you may
hurt yourself while not helping others. A small subset of the people
psychopaths collude with are disordered and potentially dangerous as
well. Others may be too much under the psychopaths spell to even
listen to you. Just ask yourself: would you have listened to
ex-girlfriends or ex-wives whom the psychopath already ran a smear
campaign on?
I know that several of my friends who knew the psychopath warned me

repeatedly against him, describing him to me as a really sleazy guy


with no scruples, which is exactly what he was (only far worse than
they ever imagined, since they didnt know much about psychopathy).
But during the luring phase I didnt believe them; I believed his
lies instead. Even my parents thought he was the lowest of the low,
and I didnt listen to them either, except once he thought he had me
under his control and started exhibiting his true personality traits
(the cheating, the manipulation, the pathological lying to get what
he wanted from others but also just for kicks, the sex addiction,
the sadism, etc). Basically, I think its tough for victims to
believe negative things about the psychopaths during the honeymoon
or luring phase. Its easier to see them after the mask of sanity
comes off, but by then the psychopath opens your eyes anyway.
However, each person decides whats best for themselves. Its
commendable that you want to help other victims. Some individuals
cant live with themselves in good conscience without warning
others. But in those situations, keep in mind there are so many
people to be warned, since these psychopaths have so many
simultaneous relationships and are very promiscuous. It would
probably be a full-time job to keep up with a psychopaths liaisons
and warn each of them. And it does keep you involved in what the
psychopath is doing and with whom, which means at the very least a
passive contact. No contact is impossible in such circumstances.

Trish,
What a sad situation. The inheritance factor. They all keep in
contact with one another? Um, thats a bit sick. THREE exs with his
children? BLECH!!!
I think thats rather unusual though. My ex had two children from
his second marriage, one from his first, that he abandoned and
signed off parental rights two. The second two he has joint custody.
I often think that his second wife doesnt get the disorder. Im so
glad I didnt have a child with this man, although I desperately
wanted too when we were first together. I think when the psychopath
still has contact with his ex or exs as it were, they are less
likely to listen to you or be warned. There are various reasons for
this, but I think Im understanding that in some way, they are still
under his spell and they are because he plays disneyland dad and
gives them the impression of I was a shitty husband, but Im a
GREAT DAD
The sad part of that is, especially with joint custody, she is still
blinded to a degree that her children are exposed to pathology and
she believes it was just the marriage that didnt work, but again,
hes such a great dad. When he is buying their love, yet exposing
them to his pathology through his behavior without her knowledge,
she is less likely to protect her children. Most pathologicals show
themselves eventually for the true parents they are. But some
never believe it. It isnt until their children are grown and
experiencing the aftermath in their own lives, that the ex begins to
understand that what he was doing was manipulative and disgusting,
if she ever sees it. Youre right, these men have great power. But

if youre luckyu enough not to have to have that kind of exposure,


know its a blessing I cant imagine having to co parent with my ex
jerk. What an absolute, totaly nightmare! Warning a woman who
already has children with him is probably counterproductive. Her
children will pay in the end, but its not up to you to tell her.
Shell just paint you as crazy. Live your own life. His karma will
come. Kelli

Whenever I wanted to get revenge on the psychopath and believe me
I wanted to do this for a LONG time, Mari I tried to stop myself
by thinking of it as a tug of war. If I let go of the rope, yes, I
will lose, but he will probably fall hard on his ass.
Now that I have more distance I can see that in many ways he does
win. He didnt go through the absolutely awful painful times that I
did. He didnt go through the lack of knowing who he was, the
depression, the internal struggles, the guilt, the remorse, the cog
dis, the stuck-ness, etcIn fact, he went on to find more willing
victims, continued to have a duped narcissistic wife, and did not
change his behavior one bit, except to mimic other victims. But he
wins at his game. Now that I am further along, and closer to who I
was before, I can see that I play a completely different game. My
happiness, also fleeting, can come from doing good, being a positive
influence in life wherever I can. And trying to be better at this
every day (although some days failing miserably at it, but thats
ok). The fact is that I am affected by oxytocin and I do get high
from doing good and being loving. He does not.
So I go on playing my game the oxytocin game and he can go on
playing his (the dopamine game?). And I can win at mine, and he can
win at his. So yes, you are right, he will not suffer like we do,
but he will also never feel the great natural oxytocin high either.

Hi Claudia..sorry just noticed this reply to me from you. Yes
dogging over here (GB) is when you go out in your car, find a
quiet place, usually a wood or remote car park and men and women
(mostly men or couples) turn up the couples usually perform lots
of sex acts and men stand outside the car and well..you know..! my
ex used to go to them constantly, without me i hasten to add. He
would, if a couple where there go home with them and several other
guys and watch the couple have sex in their bedroom or whatever
whilst they got off on it. He also still takes his ex gf and a f*ck
buddy and has them perform whatever he tells them to do. It is all
about exhibitionism and all about them at the end of the day. In one
of your articles you said that they always want sex with you at the
start, anywhere, but it is not about you, or desiring you, but about
them and their love of an immediate thrill. My ex was most
definitely that way. However, once he got bored with me it was all
flung in my face when he wanted me to be his thrill now that he
is seeing someone he said girlfriend sex is boring.he so summed
up in that statement the gigantic swing in the paths mind of one
minute you are boring then when they leave you and get someone else
then they are boring and you are notor you are thrilling for only

that moment.
Claudia you also mention on one of your comments re the dangerous
lure.. that you left your husband for your ex path. My ex husband
was lovely, we were a great team but we had some problems, and the
path homed in on them and well, the rest is history. I am not saying
I do not take the blame for what happened, as I know the issues that
I and my ex husband had. However can I ask youI have a lot of
sadness with the guilt I feel, the guilt that I left his man who
loved me, who let me go as he thought id found more happiness, for
someone who really ruined both our lives, mines to a greater extent
granted, but ruined both of us all the same. How do you manage the
crippling sorrow and guilt as in path cases you cannot vent to them
what they have done, the mess they have left you with, the pain they
have caused to so many lives, you have to deal with it internally
most of the time. I just wondered if you had any helpful advice on this.

Lesley, I think this horrible experience with the psychopath made my
marriage a lot stronger. There was a lot my husband and I took for
granted and didnt nurture over the years. Also, I was too invested
in a fantasy of romantic passion that is fine for fiction and art,
but is risky and sometimes pathological when it happens in reality.
As we know, psychpaths know what to say and do to lure victims. They
appear to be ideal romantic partners, but only because they tell us
lies, hide their wrongdoings and make false promises. They have
little or nothing invested in those words; to them, there is no risk
to lie to us. On the contrary, its part of the fun and the challenge.
My psychopathic ex even used this phase to describe our romantic
relationship: to see how long I can make it last. The it he was
referring to was not a relationship but rather the high from
conquering and duping me as well as, correlatively, my blindness
since the idealization in our relationship was necessarily
predicated on my blindness to his sadism, severe sexual addiction
(which I believed, as he originally told me, was a thing of the
past, not fast and furious during our relationship as well), chronic
cheating and belief in his large pile of lies. That dupery never
lasts forever in the psychopathic bond. Even the victims who want to
believe the lies and dont wish to see the truth about the
psychopath eventually are confronted with too much evidence of his
wrongdoings to be able to remain blind.
Even the psychopaths compliant and idolizing wife opened her eyes
eventually to what he was and called him a psychopath. Its just
that she accepts the pathological relationship as a result of an
emotional dependency on the psychopath which, for whatever reason,
she cannot overcome. I call it emotional dependency because, to my
mind, love is reciprocal and the psychopath cant love anyone. The
best he can offer is dominance bonds and possessiveness. He has the
attitude that he owns the people he dominates. When he needs them
for any purpose, he charms them and tells them the lies they need to
hear because the truth would be too painful or because they dont
want to accept it. This is the most he can offer them or anybody. I
didnt have this emotional dependency on the psychopath. I had an

emotional investment in the loving person I originally thought he


was. When I realized that person did not exist and that I was in
love with a fraud, I was no longer emotionally connected to him or
to our past. It was a very painful realization nonetheless. Its
difficult to tear ourselves from what we perceived to be real, a
foundation of our lives and from a person we once loved, even if, as
is the case with psychopaths, that wasnt really who that person was.
The opposite process (and realization) took place in my marriage. I
recognized in my husband a person who loved me deeply, who was loyal
to me and our family, who is brilliant, who has empathy, and whom I
love and respect on a much deeper level than I even knew before this
experience. My husband is the real deal while my lover was just a
fraud. This realization has rebuilt my marriage rather than
weakening it. I think even if your marriage did not survive the blow
by the psychopath, you can transform the guilt into a reminder of
the person you never want to be again to anyone you love (a person
who colluded with a psychopath, who cheated on a loving spouse) and
be a better person in future relationships of love, which you will
have again once you heal. Claudia

Thank you Claudia. No sadly, my husband found someone else within
weeks (ironically on a dating website!!) of me moving out our home
to a rented flat, so really, i do try to hold the thought that there
were things wrong with how he viewed me and our marriage really,
that he was capable of moving on so quickly. Though I do think men
are different from women in that way. I do not know if he regrets
his actions now, as his gf is pregnant and living in our home,
however I am happy for him if he is happy. I suppose I wish he had
been stronger with me when it first happened, but therein was one of
the downsides of our marriage. Thank you again for your advice and
help. It is hard going some days, as all of us on this site and
others know.

Lesley, ironically, the psychopath I was with became open about his
desire to look on dating websites for other targets only a few weeks
after I agreed to divorce my husband because I told him that my
husband was trying to move on and starting to look at dating
websites (though he hadnt posted a profile yet). I told the
psychopath, without thinking much and with visceral honesty, that my
husband would find a decent partner faster than any of us (me, the
psychopath and the psychopaths wife) put together. The psychopath
immediately took this as a challenge to beat my husband on the
dating website as he had in cdonquering me from him. I then realized
this whole charade of romance, love and fidelity with me was only a
game with my husband as the adversary and me as the prize, as he
himself phrased it. At any rate, Im sorry to hear that your husband
moved on so fast. It was probably a sign of his resilience but also
of the fact that your relationship with him was ready to break
anyway. Because in a stronger relationship its tougher to move on,

even though it is healthy to try to do so if it becomes clear that


your spouse prefers someone else. In my situation, my husband and I
fortunately realized how much we love each other and that we were
the right partners for one another all along. Claudia

Claudia,
Relationshit! What a perfect word to describe an encounter with a
psychopath! I am happy to hear that you were able to save your
marriage and even make it stronger. You are very lucky!

Mari, a few people use the apt term relationshit to describe the
psychopathic bond on lovefraud too. Its where I first saw it. Claudia

hahaha relationshitthat is genius!! hahaha i must use that term!
that is wonderful that you and your husband are stronger and
realised what you had together. something good to come out of
something awful. its funny, my ex path wanted us to go on a swingers
website though of course only put himself on itthey always just
look for more adoration and attention, its never enough to have one
person love them, in fact my ex said he would find it easier if
women didnt fall in love with himthey truly are a total
contradiction in terms and these contradictions are constant.

Lesley, by definition, dominance bonds are never exclusive and
thats all psychopaths want and have in life because theyre
incapable of love. They want to dominate as many individuals as
possible, some only physically, others emotionally as well (and
thats when they claim to love those individuals and commit to them,
since most of us want reciprocal love). Claudia

Thanks Claudia and Kelli for your replies. I spent ages replying
back the other night but some how after a couple of hours writing it
all disappeared!! So maybe you were spared more ramblings!
But in reference to his Karma I dont know if I believe in it. I
certainly hope it is true. So far it hasnt happened 40 years a

screwing (another possible book title).


He was seen skipping hand in hand with his new love towards my
friend last week in the town market! Do you think this was done
because he knows she communicates with me? Just so it would get back
to hurt me? My friend said they dont look happy she thinks its
all just for show.
He has no way of knowing about me although I have been getting some
silent calls usually on Fridays.
I also got a fake viewing for my home which is for sale about six
weeks ago. He knows if Im going down to see my friends most likely
it would be on weekends. The fake viewer kept me busy preparing the
house but never arrived or was heard from since. That was the
weekend he brought her out into the world openly!!!!! I feel he
was just making sure there was no possibility of me being around.
I also got a guy from down there writing to me via a dating site. I
had not been bothering with the site but decided to reply. He was
supposed to be very interested in me and my profile(I have no
picture up ) and we had a lot in common art etc. I replied stating
that I had friends down there and I sometimes visit the area and
about my interest in art etc.
That was about two weeks ago and not a word since.
Maybe Im being paranoid but my gut tells me now that it is all him.
Oh , and his ex before me is very interested in communicating with
me. She gave her number to my friend. She said i was so good to her
daughter and she has plenty of stories to tell me about him!
But Im a bit wary. I would love to talk to her but Im just nervous
it might all get back to him. What do you think? I would appreciate
advice on that. Should I call her?
Can i say also that this term Crazy Woman is an amazing tool
invented by Psychopaths to keep us under control and it works
everytime. Dont you think its time to examine that term?
Best wishes and love to you all here
Tricia

Blaming oneself is especially painful when the psychopath has
alienated you and duped your family and friends to turn against you.

Hello, I am new here. I find this site very insightful and
thoughtful and am glad to have come across it!
I have only gotten halfway through the very insightful posts but
felt compelled to post and ask a question. I am 6 months out of a
nearly 20 years relationship with either a psychopath or malignant
narcissist (we were very young when we met).
My main worry is my child. I have no proof that my ex is a

psychopath. As other people have said here he seems charming to the


world and I only got to see his bad side. Thankfully my family were
not turned against me (despite his best efforts), but he did a good
job of turning mutual friends against me. And to them I am the
crazy one with the pathologies because after all I was the one who
ended up on a psychiatric ward.
I am feeling very down and misunderstood even by my family. Friends
have drifted away because they cannot understand the intolerable
pain and destruction that one has to endure. And I have heard
stories about how he is moving on so effortlessly. For once I missed
him during the week and cried because I found it so difficult to
understand his mechanical seamless effort to move on even though I
know what he is! So I guess I still have cognitive dissonance.
Whilst I on the under hand am a mess.
Now I have read a lot about psychopathy and Cluster B personality
disorders. I understand the rule of no contact. But what about when
you have a young child that you care deeply for, who you know is
being hurt emotionally by their dad, and who is used as a means to
keep the contact with me to torment me? The laws on harassment in my
country are not strong, but I do have an attorney who i know will
fight for reduced access for my child.
How do you remain detached and try and move on with your life, when
you are left penniless (i was halfway through college and cant
afford now to finish it YET, but I plan to), i live in one of those
countries that has very high unemployment (so I am unemployable),
and worst of all, he is doing his damn best to control me through
our child (and of course money).
BTW I will be going through the courts to get officially divorced
but I expect most of the money is well hidden away if not gone.
Sorry I am emotional I am repeating myself. My main question is how
do you detach from a psychopath/NPD person when you have a young
child that you want to protect at all costs? I am an emotional wreck
as my young child is starting to tell me that they do not want to
have sleepovers in daddys anymore. My child has been hit which
has already been reported to child protection services, but it is
not enough to get access reduced. I am at my wits end, worrying
about my child, whom I know my ex does not have the patience to care
for. And i constantly receive stupid texts from ex which I am
recording for my attorney.
Part of me wants him to find another woman so he will leave me
alone, but then that makes me worry for my child (and ironically the
other possible woman).

Trying to move on, the situation with the psychopath is obviously
more difficult and complicated because you have a child together. If
you are quite sure he has the main symptoms of psychopathy, then
its not in the childs best interest to have contact with him. Get
an attorney specializing in family law and explain to him or her
your situation, including some general information about his abuse

and how it ties in with his psychopathy symptoms. Definitely dont


communicate with him directly, since hell use that contact to
manipulate you. He can communicate with you via your lawyer.
Psychopaths cant love anyone, not even their children. They view
everyone as a possession or a potential possession. And because they
have no moral boundaries and are quite often sex addicts, they often
engage in sexual abuse of their own children. So trust your
intuition, which is telling you to find a legal way to get full
custody of your child. Claudia

Tricia, if theres one thing that the bad experiences with the
psychopaths has taught us is to listen better to our intuition and
red flags. We had red flags and intuitive misgivings about the
psychopaths and we ignored them in favor of the positive vibes and
momentary excitement. This time, Id say its better to trust your
red flag signals. If theyre wrong sometimes, then you may miss out
on an opportunity or relationship. But if you dont listen to them,
then you risk getting burned again. This guy may be your
psychopathic ex harassing you by using different emails or it could
be a new person. It doesnt matter. What matters is that you have
intuitive misgivings. Listen to them. Its better to err on the side
of caution. Claudia

Dear Claudia,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I am not sure if he has psychopathy or NPD, but I am sure he has one
of them. I was actually a psychology student and I remember very
well the lecture on psychopathy. The lecturer that we had actually
worked for years with Dr. Robert Hare, whom as you know is one of
the exerts on psychopathy. I will never forget that lecture. One
thing I do remember is that the lecturer said that pyschopathy is on
a spectrum/dimension, so you may be high or low on the
characteristics of the spectrum. Is it possible that a person gets
worse with time or is the mask just slipping ? My ex got worse as I
caught him out more and more on his manipulation of me. We did have
a long term relationship, that is one thing that seems to be
different between me and a lot of other people here. As for affairs,
I have no idea. I wouldnt have dreamt that he did, but he had me so
fooled for years, nothing would surprise me now!
What shocked me when I left was that I felt like I just woke up and
realized I had been sleeping beside a psychopath for years, if that
makes sense
To give you a little background on him. There is a history of
mental illness in his family, and I dont mean depression. I mean
identifiable brain illnesses like autism and very specific forms of
dementia, which initially manifest as lack of insight and empathy.
His father was always cold and distant and could not show any
affection. My first attorney when she heard me describe my ex even

described him herself as slightly autistic. But to me he is much


more than that.
You mentioned sexual abuse. Well, for some reason, (maybe the fact
that he has been sexually abusing me for years but I normalized it),
I have had sick feelings in my stomach that one day he will abuse
our child but I dont know would he really do that. My counselor
says it is because of what I have gone through with him myself. At
first I was worried about the psychological impact my ex would have
on my child, but now as i have said in the previous post he has hit
him, but there were no bruises and this has been reported to the
child protection agency by my counsellor. This counsellor by the way
has described him as a psychopath on three occasions, but that is
not evidence for court. She has not met him, so how could she give
evidence to say he is one? She can only say that he has undermined
my confidence in myself.
Here are sone of his traits:
In the earlier years of our relationship he would:
put me on a pedestal which lasted for a few months. The honeymoon
phase I guess.
We had a number of breakups.
Flirt openly with girls in front of me, and blame them, which I
naively believed. Thus I was alienated from the girls in his class
in college and pitted against them.
He demeaned me in front of other people
He wanted to have sex in inappropriate places like behind dirty old
buildings, or in toilets
He was arrogant and rude and often said inappropriate things to people
He then became more charismatic and learnt new ways to manipulate me
and others. He stopped demeaning in front of other people and kept
it to behind closed doors.
Therefore he appeared very supportive of me to the world.
He called me mentally ill and a whole host of other character
defects I apparently had and played the role of the victim to anyone
that would listen.
He tried to turn some of my friends and family against me.
Getting into an argument with him was confusing to say the least. I
would always be blamed. He always managed to twist things so that it
was my fault
He sexually abused me by coercive sex.
I became a former shell of myself. I tried to take my own life
because I felt like I was going crazy. After this he treated me with
utter contempt and distain and told me I could not function as a
normal person. I basically felt like he decimated me as a person and
I am now trying to find my way through a black cloud of depression
and anxiety. After this I felt I was discarded

After I left I had panic attacks for 5 months


He still tries to control me through our child and money
Thats just tipping the iceberg.
I am going to talk to my attorney about my concerns.
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks for reading if you got to the end!
Thanks

Hello, TryingToMoveOn. Im a guy, and Im also six months out of a
toxic relationship with an NPD/psychopathic woman (neither the
gender nor the diagnosis really matters). I certainly understand
your feelings of isolation, loneliness and frustration psychopaths
do a remarkable job of making themselves look great to everyone and
making their victims look like the crazy ones. Yes, the psychopath
moves on effortlessly, but thats because he cannot form any sort of
deep emotional bonds like the rest of us.
I agree completely with Claudias recommendations for not allowing
your ex to manipulate you via your child, especially since she seems
to be at a highly impressionable age where her fathers confusing
behaviour could cause permanent damage. I would like to add that
theres a useful website http://www.ourfamilywizard.com
<http://www.ourfamilywizard.com/> thats very helpful in arranging
the details of shared custody while maintaining No Contact with your
ex. Its quite inexpensive (US$99 per year per parent), especially
when you consider that lawyers usually bill in 10- or 15-minute
increments; it pays for itself after two or three phone calls.
Bear in mind that your ex is likely to strongly oppose using the OFW
system, since it puts all custody-related correspondence out in the
open where lawyers and judges can freely inspect it. This avoids all
the he said / she said squabbling and, more importantly, makes
your ex *accountable* for everything he says and does regarding your
child. Hes certainly not going to like that, so OFW works best when
a judge issues a court order requiring both of you to exclusively
use OFW and not bypass it by telephone, texting, instant messaging
or personal contact except in emergency cases. There are examples of
such court orders on the website.
You asked How do you remain detached and move on with your life?
in spite of difficult financial and child custody issues. Well, I
think youve nailed Question Number One quite precisely; this is the
most difficult thing for all of us trying to recover from a toxic
relationship. For me, the most important thing was trying to recover
my ability to think clearly; for the first two months, my mind was
constantly swirling with obsessive thoughts about what had gone
wrong and why, from morning til night, and I just couldnt deal
with anything more than the most simple problems. Cognitive
Dissonance is such a dry and technical term; I felt more like I had
serious brain damage.

One beautiful sunny morning, I realized that I had been neglecting


my flower garden, and it had become severely overrun with weeds. So
I went out and began weeding, and realized that this simple task
completely cleared my mind, if only for a short while. Since then,
Ive started each and every day with a 30- or 40-minute gardening
session, and it sets the tone for the rest of the day. This, plus
some professional therapy, the passage of time and a lot of research
and learning about NPD and psychopathy, has helped a lot in my
recovery. Needless to say, the flower garden is just beautiful.
I believe that being able to have just a little peace every day is
very important. Maybe gardening isnt the thing for you; perhaps
jogging or meditation or yoga or Tai Chi? Anything that helps start
the day with some precious peace. Once the emotional whilwind
subsides, it will be so much easier to effectively deal with the
financial and child custody issues. I wish you the very best. Julian.

Trying to move on, he sounds exactly like what you said he is:
either a psychopath or a pretty bad narcissist. Even if you have no
evidence of sex addiction, he may just have hid it well. My
psychopathic ex would too: from his wife. Hed drive her to work and
go to her office when she worked overtime on weekends. That was to
control her and gain her trust. At the office, hed put several
screens, like for real estate, which hed pretend to look at while
emailing me (I was his mistress) and probably other women as well.
He got his kicks out of waving his infidelities under her nose and
no doubt mine as well. The fact a psychopath sticks like glue to his
main targets to control them leads them to erroneously believe he
does it out of love and that he has no time to cheat on them. Both
assumptions are false. He sticks to you to monitor your activities
and finds plenty of time for other sexual partners. As for the way
your psychopath treated you, everything you describe sounds like he
was trying to humiliate, belittle you and establish dominance over
you. He is now using your child to maintain power, since he has less
of an effect over you directly. Cut all the ties that you can with
him, legally, or hell remain in your life and your childs for
life, to wreack havoc and cause unhappiness. Thats what psychopaths
do best. Claudia

Claudia, your writing is the perfect combination of analysis and
sharing of just what and how the pain evolved for the victim. My own
struggles have to do with my ideas of choice and taking
responisbility. As I look at this, I know I am also tackling my
crisis of faith AND my new found awareness that I must look more for
answers WITHIN than always try to find the help from without. An
interesting place to find oneself. I am most assuredly NOT the same
person I was before this being came into my life. I have looked at
the concept of codependency and dont believe that it can be as
simple as so many therapists wish to facilitate. Because this was
such a total surprise to me not the upsets along the path with the
narcissist but that I got into the role of playing the foil. Thank

you this site is incredible with the validity you supply to the
ordeal we have experienced and the very alien nature of this energy.

Becky, thank you for your comment. Yes, the concept of codependency
has its limitations in describing the victims or targets of
psychopaths. Although the psychopathic bond is as addictive if not
more so than any substance or behavior, the main difference are that
a) you dont willingly choose a psychopath (usually) the way you
choose to engage in an addiction and b) that the dependency is
fostered by something akin to force (the inculcation of fear,
isolation from loved ones, implicit or explicit threats, emotional
abuse and sometimes physical violence). No drug would do that to
anybody. Codependency on a psychopath or addiction to a psychopath
needs to be understood on its own terms, not only as an analogy to
substance addiction or codependency with a drug addict. Claudia

Ok, I need some postive support and encouragement from my friends
here. Its been a tough week for me with some family issues and a
close friends Mothers funeral yesterday.
Today I am missing my psycho friend so much and I dont know why he
is on my mind, cant get him off of my mind. I am still NC, this
morning I was fine and as the day wore on thoughts of him came
flooding back. Are they pyschic or what? He has not contacted me
either. I know he is bad news now and I should not even think about
him at all.
I am not tempted to calling him, because I know the drill of him not
answering or calling me back if I left a message. Maybe its because
I am at home alone.

Donna, whenever you feel like contacting your ex, just read a few
articles on psychopathy websites or chapters from books like The
Sociopath Next Door or Without Conscience, and the urge will pass
because youll be reminded of the reality of the psychopathic bond.
Remain strong, as you are, and resist the temptation to return to
any idealization of the psychopath or his relationship with you.
Because any urge to return to a psychopath comes from the nostalgia
for the idealization phase, which is based on empty flattery, false
promises and a whole lot of lies. Claudia
