Sociopaths ...
They can be found everywhere -- anywhere.
In so many families.
It is suggested sociopath can be inherited -- to some degree, or not at all.
Some psychologists agree to easy areas, while others have more difficulty agreeing.
Why this post?
A mother kicked her seven-year-old son out because he voted / supported Trump, and then she posted it on YouTube.
The trauma done to her son - just on this situation - is immense.
This child should be put into therapy and away from his mother immediately.
If there are other children in the home, I would say they too are at risk.
I have experience with a sociopath ... I was raised by one.
This sociopath was my mother, and I realized she was very sick, when I was a teenager; but I didn't know the name for her 'problem.'
Her sociopath destroyed her first marriage, her oldest son, and tried to destroy me.
On her third marriage, she found a man she could manipulate and control; and his adult children from a previous marriage, had no clue what he had gotten into.
To make it perfect for her, she walked away from her children and created a 'quasi new identity' through a web of lies.
As an adult, and knowing there was a sociopath in my family, I had to protect my children from her.
It was painful for my children; I hope they understood what the sacrifice was.
The counseling for me, my oldest, and research to fully understand what sociopaths were.
The best book I found was, 'Character Disturbance' by George K. Simon Jr., Ph.D.
He is also the author of 'In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People.'
There is so much to learn, to understand -- when people around you want to manipulate and/control you.
People in your family, your job, a new relationship.
There are classic symptoms that anyone can pay attention to ...
glib - lies - no remorse - no empathy - narcissistic - extremely manipulative - devious (you can't grow a conscience);
Dr. Simon, if you don't mind,
"To hurt someone you love; the guilt and remorse would be very bad because of affection for him/her.
Take that affection and attachment away, and you take away remorse, guilt and any kind of normal feelings of fairness. Sociopath."
This post is not meant to create a spirit of fear in anyone.
Please receive wisdom, knowledge, and power --- to help in your life from HIS Glory.
