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

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
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.

Comment by Michael on July 30, 2011 8:58 pm <#comment-1098>
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

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!
Thanks again, Mari.

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,
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

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

Linda, your wounds are still fresh and youre still in the mourning
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

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

Im not doing too badly Claudia thanks. I joined a life drawing group

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.
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
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
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
