If our emotions are triggered, there’s more pain to process

January 4, 2017 //  by Donna Andersen//  4 Comments

Lovefraud recently received the following e-mail from a reader—we'll call her Sally: It's been almost four years since I left my ex psychopath. He almost had me take my own life through guilt, when it was him lying, cheating, committing fraud, you name it—a textbook case. The reason I write to you today, however, is I am so sad and disappointed in myself yet again. Four years and I thought I was over the damage done by the psychopath so I stepped out of my comfort zone to contact an old friend I had not seen since before the psychopath came into my life. I made a decision to visit my male friend and we had a nice time. When I returned I started analysing the situation. Was my friend ju …

Kelly Cochran, possible serial killer, awaits trial in Michigan

January 3, 2017 //  by Donna Andersen//  1 Comment

Kelly Cochran, of Caspian, Michigan, began an affair with a co-worker, Chris Regan. But when Kelly's husband, Jason Cochran, found out, he was furious, and threatened to kill Regan. Instead, the Cochrans allegedly hatched a plot to kill Regan together. Then they dismembered his body. But Kelly Cochran was angry, and 16 months later, she allegedly killed her husband, making the death look like a heroin overdose. Kelly told a police detective that she wouldn't lose sleep over her husband's death. "You feel (emotion)," she said, according to DetroitNews.com, "and I can't." Killings may go beyond U.P. woman's husband, lover, on DetroitNews.com. Link supplied by a Lovefraud reader.   …

For the holidays, give yourself the gift of honoring your experience

December 24, 2016 //  by Donna Andersen//  3 Comments

How do you get through the season of joy and hope when a lying, destructive, individual has wreaked havoc in your life? First, be gentle with yourself. You are a normal, caring, person. Perhaps you wanted to love and be loved, as all normal people do. Perhaps you felt sorry for the individual and wanted to help. Your intentions were honorable, but the exploiter took advantage of your humanity. Second, honor your experience. What does that mean? It means accepting that it happened. Much of the pain and confusion of tangling with a sociopath comes from not wanting to believe that these individuals are what they are, and they do what they do. Accepting that yes, they exist, and yes, you were …

Professor who murdered his wife asks for money to start over, but maybe he shouldn’t have

December 22, 2016 //  by Donna Andersen//  Leave a Comment

Ten years ago, on Dec. 22, 2006, Rafael Robb, of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, bludgeoned his wife, Ellen Gregory Robb, to death as she wrapped Christmas presents. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Robb, a former University of Pennsylvania economics professor and an expert in game theory, was supposed to be released in January. A civil suit awarded $124.26 million to the couple's daughter, who was 12 when her mother was killed. Robb listed assets of approximately $3 million in the civil lawsuit. This week, Robb petitioned the court for $100,000 of his  assets to set up a new life after prison. But in a hearing, he mentioned an account in France, which he had not di …

Steven Dean Gordon, already a sex offender, guilty of murdering 4 women while wearing a GPS tracker

December 20, 2016 //  by Donna Andersen//  Leave a Comment

  Prosecutors in Orange County, California, started calling him "Jaws" because he was such a vicious predator. Last week, Steven Dean Gordon, 47, was convicted of abducting and killing four random women in Santa Ana, between 2013 and 2014. Gordon was already a convicted sex offender. His partner in crime, Franc Cano, was also a sex offender. Cano will be tried separately. Both men were under supervision after being convicted in separate cases of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14. Both men were wearing GPS tracking devices. In fact, it was the data from the tracking devices that connected them to the disappearances of the four women, who were all prostitutes. After …

How psychopaths use our biology against us

December 19, 2016 //  by Donna Andersen//  6 Comments

Invariably, once we realize we've been conned by a psychopath, this person has lied to us from the very beginning, and we fell for all of it, we ask why? Why did we believe? Why did we trust? The short answer is that we did what we, as social animals, are biologically designed to do. Human beings have evolved over millennia to live in community, and trust is the glue that holds us together. I read The Moral Molecule the source of love and prosperity, by Paul J. Zak. Zak spent 10 years researching a brain chemical called oxytocin and its role in human behavior. He says oxytocin inspires trust; trust is connected to morality; and morality is connected to the survival of the human …

December 17, 2016 //  by Donna Andersen//  Leave a Comment

Derek Alldred, a con artist who claimed to be everything from a doctor to a Navy SEAL to an investment banker for the Royal Bank of Scotland, has scammed at least eight women out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. His most recent victim,  a woman from Arizona, met Alldred on a dating site. Alldred stole her jewelry and pawned it, then pleaded no contest to the crime. Alldred pleaded no contest to theft charges and was supposed to be sentenced on December 13 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He never showed up for the hearing, and his victims fear that Alldred will just find more targets. Watch the video: Swindler exposed by KARE 11 is on the run, on KARE11.com. Here's a detailed, …

December 14, 2016 //  by Donna Andersen//  69 Comments

Editor's note: Lovefraud received the following email from a woman whom we'll call Gemma, who lives in England. Names have been changed.
