Hi,
I recently came to the conclusion that my ex-A is most likely a sociopath or something along those lines. Although it's hard to accept that I most likely was used from the very beginning, it also gives me a lot of closure about the situation, which is mainly what I've been looking for since I've realized something besides the addiction was very wrong. I think that the sociopath disorder is overlooked, especially when it comes to dealing with addicts, because a lot of stories I've been hearing sound so close to mine, yet not once have I heard the term sociopath or psychopath. Although I understand most of it, and I know that they do not feel like others feel and they do come first, I still wonder if it's completely true. Many of the sites I found say that they experience absolutely no emotions and are soul-less, and only pretend to feel to get to their victim. I definitely agree wtih this to an extent, but there are times where I feel that I catch an occasional glimpse of his true self. There are very infrequent moments where everythign comes pouring out, and I can not accept that these are insincere. Maybe I am being naive, and whatever the case may be, I have accepted that I can do nothing about this disorder except keep myself safe and distance myself. Anyways, I was just wondering if there are any people out there dealing with this kind of person or disorder themself. I would appreciate hearing other stories of people going through this, and if there are any anti-socials on the board, I would really appreciate them giving their point of view into the matter. Thanks a lot.
