Only those who have lived with a sociopath know the extent of their control & how they creat their own reality. I was married to one for 26 years. I finally got the strength to leave him. Yet, he has a long arm that abuses even when he lives out of the country.
He has left a path of destruction. And even those who sees him for what he is won't take a stand against him. That is the power he has over people. I have a son who is now dead becasue of emotional manilupation from his father.
Scott Peterson is a soiopath.
I am older and ill. I depend on his support checks. I can't live on SSI. No one can live on$800 a month.
I need some other people who understand the madness and how it can destroy a family. We all need to support each other.
My question is how do I live the rest of my life without losing my mind or my life. If I were well I would move far away and work to earn a living. I can't do either. This man vowed to destroy me if I left him. How do I surrive?

I was married to one, too, but wised up after he tried to strangle me to death after only 19mos of marriage. He disappeared and never paid child support (my son was only 6mos old).
I am on SSDI and started a pet-sitting service. It's pretty easy work, and you can do it under the table.

piece of cake. try c'ing u have options to how u percieve your limitations, his sociopathic control is based on fear. and crud pleasures, if you want evidence to c others have had your feeling i'll supply a few thoughts, i've to ungo many operations because of violent step father, i'm deaf and that can't be fixed and it was when i was somewhere between four and seven, my body is full of both kinds of arthritis, could never keep a job because of the underachievers delimia that schools give hyperactive kids to fail as punishment for disrupting their world, neither one of his real children had kids because of the stigmatizing control, i was locked as soon as i came home from school for most of three years, drug at infirmiries at army bases with mercury as often as request by him, i only am alive because therte is no way out other than suicide and because of the way sociopaths work their head game even that is in complex fight or flight formulations that in his world of controlling thousands of g.i. it was a piece of cake to boggle anyone's mind.with the training the government gives their staff, so when you obey it is undermining your self but techniques to object are limited and only bring more violence, try to stay away from pushing your button cause of his access to you and move some where else. sometimes only in your dreams does life exist, that's all i have and it's not enough, i try to play God because he failed me and so i get relief from helping others, if you help others it will supply u with the love you need and sieze the moment

You need to keep working with whatever doctor helped you get the SSI money. That is all I can think to say with all you have said. Make sure you tell the doctor what you said here. Make a copy of it if you don't think you will remember all the words. They will help you.
