Read more about Liberty. By Liberty Forrest It is said that, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." This is attributed to Lao-Tzu, a brilliant Chinese philosopher who wrote a lot about the Tao.

Read more about Liberty. By Liberty Forrest I don't read the paper. I don't listen to the news. In fact, I'll go a step further. I won't read the paper and I won't listen to the news.

And especially given that I've spent more than enough time in my own life dealing with the damage and pain caused by life with s …

Oh, no! How did I get into this? How did this happen? My life was ticking along just fine - or maybe not all that fine, but it wasn't like this! It's a disaster! Does this sound familiar? I'm sure we've all been there. Especially if we've been involved with a sociopath. Perhaps that's where you are right now. And if you are, the good news is that if you got into a mess, you can get out of it, too. Okay, it's true, there may be some aspects of your situation that you cannot change. If, for example, you're sitting in a car that you just wrapped around an enormous tree a moment ago, you can't rewind about ten seconds and take it all back. After all, life isn't like one big shoelace that you …

Lovefraud recently received the following email from a reader asking why it hurt to leave the sociopath: Why would a person become distraught when the narc/sociopath that has wronged them gives them the silent treatment?
