How to recognize and recover from everyday sociopaths - narcissists
DawnG
I agree. That’s why I suggested you keep an eye out for a container. I kinda felt like her spirit would lead you to one. You’ll see it and think it fits her personality.
What a good mom you are.
My shelter dog has heartworms and hip dysplasia. I treat her with meds for heartworms but the real cure would cripple her so I just tell myself that I am giving her a better life that she had. I am told sometimes the pills do cure. The dysplasia isn’t bad yet b/c she is young. I found her the day before she was to be euthanized so I feel like she was meant to be mine.
What my husband did to our dogs behind my back brings me to feeling rage. Shows his true TWOFACED self. I found out AFTER I left him but had I been living with him… well God was watching out for me; I’d probably be doing life b/c of a dog.
My cat Remy changed my entire life since he adopted me. The Humane Society in southwest Missouri found him wandering around after the tornado in Joplin.
He is definitely NOT a sociopath. He is momma’s little boy. He snuggles up in bed with me at night and wakes me up by slapping me in the face with his paw. When I come home home from work he grabs my ankle with his front paws and won’t let go til I pick him up and hug him. He hates his water bowl and he drinks out of a glass instead. The other night he put both his front paws in my Chinese food and contaminated it and then wouldn’t eat it when I tried to feed him some. He is all I need for the rest of my life.
Update on the elephant situation-I spoke with the lady I met last week about the elephant nursing and she wants to get me involved with her non-profit group working with elephants and gave me her business card and email address. It would be awesome if I could spend my next big vacation in Thailand taking the elephant nursing class-she said it’s a really good one.
There is a new article I found online with a big photo of my N taken by a professional photographer. There is an article about her where she is talking about ethics in business in one of the local magazines. I read the article and found out that while spouting off about ethics, she flat out lied and misrepresented her past in the article. She has a poor memory and doesn’t realize that she has told me things before that are quite contradictory.
DawnG – If your not in contact with you x-spath could you just go dognap that poor dog and give it a better home..There is so much f.ing cruelty in the world to animals and kid’s. God’s biggest mistake was creating human’s..
Katy – check at your local Petsmart or online for dog vitamins/supplements for joint health..I keep my wiener’s on Fresh Start Supplement’s for bone and joint health…I admire you for taking good care of your dog..it can be costly to properly take care of our animals..
Hens, I know there are all these “supplements” sold for “joint health” for both humans and dogs, but the DOUBLE BLIND SCIENTIFIC STUDIES show that these do NO benefit to either the animals or the humans….but they ARE COSTLY—-and yes, I know the vets that SELL THEM “Swear by” them, but scientific studies show they are just a $$ rip off.
Oxy-I love my new job. I am really excited about it. We met the chief nursing officer today is she is so not the typical nursing adminstration suit. She is totally involved and gave out her email address to us and even has a blog where the nurses can communicate with her and express concerns and she actually answers the comments. They are holding a cruise for nurses for CNE credits in January where you go to Cozumel and it’s only $350 per person. My manager is very approachable and appears to be very fair. The CNO told us that they are picky about who they hire and congratulated us on making it through the process and being selected. She said now that we’re hear she will do her best to keep us. If for some reason the position that we were hired for isn’t working out then we can work with the directors to get transferred to another department that is more appropriate. I guess that means if telemetry doesn’t work out for me, then I may get to go back to PACU.
Katy- I’m not sure if joint problems are the same as arthritis.. But if so there are meds. My dog is old and is on special food and has medicine for it. It is expensive but seems to help a little. She is old and lives now with my ex (not spath). However she is very old and has deteriorated in the past months since her brother was put down. If you can afford it check with your vet. It’s around $80 and last 2 months. If it’s bad there is also pet insurance… It’s around $5 a month. It does not cover shots and heartworm treatments but does cover medical emergencies and special meds. Your vet would know. I never bought it but know others who have. I wish I would have… I just never thought it would be needed.
Hens, I thought about stealing his dog. Spath lives outside of town on 25 isolated acres and doggie isn’t well known but I live in the small town and a dog like him would definitely be noted. I’d end up getting arrested.
Now if I could steal him and find the fortitude to give him up to a better home I’d probably go do it. I’ve wanted to go check on him since I left spath but I’ve been afraid to run into him or be spotted by one of the neighbors. Plus, NC to me means no going to his house even if he isn’t there. If I could find out if the dog is being seriously neglected now maybe I could get the dog warden involved. Spath appears to be self-destructing, according to a mutual friend and I’m really worried that he isn’t taking care of doggie at all. He’s acting very strangely in public and private, hasn’t worked in months now, and he’s drinking so hard he wrecked into a tree – the tree right in front of his house.
It’s a tough situation. I’m not sure how to handle it or whether to handle it at all.
This is an interesting article. I love cats and dogs, especially german shepards. Cats have always had a special place in my heart, though.
My ex-frienemy, K, also loved cats and one day, after he had met my spath (and joined forces with him, so the spath would have sex with him), K said, “You’re more like a dog and I’m more like a cat. Spath is also like a cat, but you’re like a dog”.
He said this in a condescending tone. I denied being like a dog and said that I relate much more to cats, but K was adamant that I was like a dog.
I didn’t understand why he would say this until after I left the spath. They looked down on me for being loyal and for putting up with abuse. Yes, that is more like a dog than a cat, but it isn’t a bad thing to be loyal. Spaths think it’s a weakness to be loyal. It is if you don’t know what a spath is. Once you know, loyalty becomes a strength again.
K and spath are nothing like cats because cats don’t pretend to be anything other than what they are. Also cats are capable of love. The only thing that K and spath resemble is monstrosities.
ElizabethBennet, you’re in health care too? I wonder how many of us are, on this site, in the helping professions – or are the type of person who is described more like a dog than a cat – !!! – how many of us are strong, loyal, loving, trusting, smart, beautiful, and, clearly, envied.
DawnG – What you describe sound’s to risky to get involved – poor doggie – maybe spath will destruct and doggie will be rescued.
I have always loved dog’s, not so much a cat person but I do feed the ferrel cat’s around here, also keep cat and dog food in my truck, seem’s I am always seeing neglected/abandoned animal’s ( and men )..I just cant bring them home anymore.
