What can be worse than waking up to a discerning fact, one fine morning, and realizing that the person whom you thought of spending the rest of your life with, is nothing short of a devious psychopath? I don’t blame you for not being able to decipher his sociopathic behavior while you dated him as I am sure he must have mesmerized you by his charming and condescending ways. That’s how such people project themselves in public. Perhaps they have a deep seated desire to get what they want, be it attention, appreciation, affection or recognition. This kind of behavior is, normally, an offshoot of a twisted or a neglected childhood, consistent failures in life, poverty (especially in childhood) or a constant nagging by an abusive parent or a partner / spouse. Well, there is an exception to this rule, though. We see children with psychopathic traits born and raised in homes of loving and caring parents. It’s tough for the parents to deal with such children; somehow nothing seems to work for such kids and finally the parents give up which makes things even worse.

Anjal,
Make sure your will is updated; get out your running shoes; and seek a protection from abuse order as soon as you can get to the DA’s office.
Don’t know if I would want to continue seeing a person who might eventually harm me. I know that love can excuse a lot of things, but if I started to feel threatened, I would befriend more police officers and some judges just in case you would need them down the line.
C’mon, though. You gotta be kiddin’ A person with your smarts involved with some whacko. Nah. You made this up for the legal profession to discuss at the continuing legal education class. Get two ethics courses for the price of one.

Well, life is a mystery….you never know what awaits you round the corner. The smartest people sometimes make worst mistakes; it has nothing to do with intelligence. Thx for making me laugh. You have a good sense of humor. Take care.
