I know how you feel. My dad who even has the same name as me is an alcoholic, narcissistic, sociopath. I, too, have found that writing on blog has helped. My wife tries to tell me to move on. I try and have but I don’t think I completely can. It’s hard when you are the offspring of a madman. I am studying the madness of it and one day I will help victims stand up to these monsters. Thanks for not being afraid to share. It has helped me.

Your posts make me very sad for the childhood you went through. I read them while looking for info re: sociopaths, which I think my niece might be.
I am also even more thankful for the dad I had who was gentle, funny, sweet, kind and gave out continuous hugs and kisses.
He is almost 86 and has Alzheimers and constant physical pain but continues to be the same wonderful man I’ve always known.
Though I may not get through your whole blog, I will think of you and wish the best in healing for you.
Love,
Jeanne

[...] been quiet and fine. The Monster lurks in the background, still commenting here and there on our family blog. Letting it be known that he is alive and well, and watching. But I’ve been mostly successful [...]

Maggy, thank you for your comment. I am sorry to hear about what you are experiencing with your husband. I would not wish a relationship with a sociopath on my worst enemy. But, good for you for trusting your instincts that something is wrong and investigating it. I highly recommend the book The Sociopath Next Door. Read it if you can and haven’t yet, and continue your quest for sister voices. They will help you more than anything else. Good luck and many peaceful thoughts to you.

I agree, Coco. Looking back on those Christmas mornings, the emotional mother in me just cannot comprehend his behavior. Knowing the dynamics of a sociopath, however, it makes perfect sense. He had not conscience, no guilt, no real love for us. Sad.

I just “stumbled” across this, and I am so glad I did. I have been trying to figure for months about what exactly is “wrong” with my husband, and I started to do some research only to be faced with a truth that I believe with every fiber of my being that he is a sociopath. Classic symptoms, and I thank you for sharing because there are so many things that you shared that seem so much like him, especially the “winning” that needs to take place. And when comments like us dealing with ingrained impressions, etc – My God, I thought I was the one going crazy, but I so appreciate all of you and your comments – I need alot of help with this, and part of the help is knowing that there are others out there who share with me in my concern by sharing your own. Thank you for being so brave as to say what you have experienced. I wish you peace. Maggy

Oh, I just want to smack him. Who kills the joy of a child on Christmas morning? How badly damaged does your soul have to be to do that?

Grrr.

Coco, thank you so much. I am humbled. Did I say I was intimidated? Impressed, more like it, and definitely always inspired by your posts. Again, thank you so much for the feedback and for submitting me to Julie’s list. I am touched. It’s good encouragement to get back to writing. I’ve been swamped lately and my mind has been elsewhere. There are many posts in there waiting to get out, just need to find a moment to sit and write…
