Milo,
my brain fell out…
Reading that gave me a DOOZY of a WTF? moment.
don’t even know where to begin.
You’re right, she sounds A LOT like my spath. She has the same grandiosity, the narcissism, the hypocrisy…the OVERWHELMING hypocrisy. The bizarre, non-sensical use of language is offensive.
I get the impression that I’m listening to a 1 year old child with the ability to articulate but no ability to understand what she is really articulating because she is, after all, only 1 years old. Her words have no depth but I can sense the rage. sick.
When did you first notice her bizarreness? What was her childhood like?
Sky ~ my attorney, almost a forensic psy, thought it was so very disturbing, as do I.
We adopted her at age 14 months. She attached to us immediately, which is actually a big red flag. The thing I noticed the earliest was her hunger for attention. It was like she had a well that just could not be filled up and the more attention she got, the more she demanded. Her childhood was filled with drama, all created by her. The word NO to her was as if you had challenged her, if you said no, she did it.
It is like you are listening to a 1 year old child. Her IQ level is practically off the charts. She got straight A’s in school and a partial academic scholarship to a liberal arts college.
Now you know why I say having a conversation with her is like sticking my head in a blender.
Thanks for reading it.
I can sometimes skim words without realizing it, but I don’t see nonsensical use of language.
It is disturbing nonetheless.
Athena ~ I think “kids will only become tools of destruction themselves when their reproductive parts are ready to spawn themselves” is an example of nonsensical use of language.
I think it was a sick attempt to use language.
Milo & Athena,
how about:
The President is a pro wrestler, buildings are secured in a backyard mechanic’s was (duct tape and baleing twine). He is the smartest man alive.
excuse me while I pick up my brain from the floor again.
I’m so sorry Milo, that this happened to you. I’m sorry for her too, it can’t be pleasant being her.
Yes, Sky, her use of those are because she thinks she is so clever and such an accomplished writer.
I am sure she considered this a masterpiece.
Thanks. You can say to people “daughter is a P” and tell briefly some of the things she has done, but somehow, in their own words really brings it home. That is what I got when I read what your x wrote.
Most of her writings are quite different from this one, more drama based, but disturbing just the same.
The part that makes my brain fall to the floor is “prioritize their children’s needs above their own” – GIVE ME A BREAK
MiLo,
WOW!!! Just got in the house and read the blog your P-daughter wrote!
Her invention of eugenics is interesting…she of course thinks she is the “ideal” to reproduce!!!
My psychopathic son Patrick is also off the charts IQ wise, but morally BANKRUPT. He, just like your daughter, just does NOT get it. I read the letters he wrote to my Now X DIL the psychopath and they are so much WORD SALAD….trying to convince her that he is “understanding” of others and so compassionate….he even went on in the letter he wrote to her telling her about how it was OK for her to have an affair with the Trojan Horse though she was married to his brother C, he said “If you light one candle off another it doesn’t diminish the first one.” Then later in the letter he told her that she “needs to work on her relationship with C (her husband.). WORK ON HER RELATIONSHIT while she is having an AFFAIR? Gimmie a break already! Talk about NOT getting it. LOL
You talk about your head being in the blender, MiLo, yea, the spin cycle, blender,…word salad! They can say “emotional” words but the context is just OFF! It is like me trying to “speak Spanish” I may understand a few of the nouns or verbs, but I don’t know any of the contexts or the subtle meanings of the words. Not likely to learn either at this stage in my life, and I think it is like that with the psychopaths, they pass the point were they can learn anything except to parrot a few nouns and verbs that deal with emotions, but it is impossible for them to really grasp the meanings.
Dear MiLo,
So sorry your daughter wrote this knowing full well she was full of sh*t!
Skylar,
I had my husband read “campfire of my love” He said it was totally unbelievable, like he plagiarized it!! LOL
He said no guy says that shit…I said Oh yeah, they do! I told him to remember that it’s all a lie…I think he got cog. diss. Bout time!~
Oxy and Ana ~
Full of sh*t is the perfect definition to this one. When she writes “I have the tools to teach my son right from wrong, and give guidence based on compassion and intelligence.”
Ah ~ maybe she forgot that she hadn’t seen that son for the past two years. I didn’t find that in her blog.
Like you said Oxy – they may have the “emotional” words, they just don’t understand the meaning.
Milo, I think these letters – from your P-daughter and my x-spath – illustrate what happens when you encounter a spath, perfectly.
I think that the cognitive dissonance comes from something they do or say which conveys that they ACTUALLY BELIEVE their bullsh*t. We know and they know they are lying, but something, (not sure if it’s the grammar or the choice of words) conveys that they BELIEVE THEIR OWN LIES. That’s not even possible, since knowing you are lying and believing that lie is simply impossible.
Yet, THEY pull it off.
And OUR brains fall out.
If I had to put it down to one word to describe why they have this “talent”, I would have to use the word, AUDACITY.
