Why did a sociopath come into my life?

"Love Fraud — how marriage to a sociopath fulfilled my spiritual plan" is a gripping true story of life with a sociopath—from outrageous betrayal to self-doubt to personal growth and ...triumph

What is it really like to be hooked by a sociopath? And if it happens, how do you recover and rebuild your life?

Donna Andersen thought she’d married the man of her dreams. James Montgomery promised her love, wealth and a happy family. But the promises were lies, which cost Donna almost everything she had—her money, her self-confidence, her identity.

With the skill and lavish description of a fiction writer, Donna paints a picture of the sociopath spinning his web of deceit. But this story is completely true, and with unflinching honesty, Donna reveals how she fell for the scam, and her own deep vulnerabilities that made her susceptible to the sociopath’s charms in the first place.

Donna eventually discovers that her marriage is a mirage. She then takes the reader along as she fights on two fronts—trying to hold her sociopathic husband accountable, and trying to reclaim her sense of self.

With palpable emotion, Donna shares her deep confusion and anguish: She is an honest, caring and responsible person. She honored her marriage commitment. Why was her life shoved through a meat grinder?

The question—or rather, the plea for deliverance—sent Donna on an unexpected, and somewhat unwelcome, spiritual journey. Slowly, she learned that there was a reason for the experience. It was part of a larger plan.

Love Fraud is more than the story of a woman betrayed—although the depth and breadth of the betrayal is shocking. It is a highly personal account of dealing with, and ultimately overcoming, the betrayal. It is a story of triumph.

If you have suffered the devastation of a sociopath, Love Fraud is a comfort, like sharing your experience with a close and loyal friend. The story will help you realize that you’re not alone, and there is a way out.

If you’ve been lucky enough to avoid sociopaths so far, Love Fraud will teach you that evil sometimes comes disguised as love. You’ll learn the warning signs, so if you start to see them, you’ll know to keep the heartless predator out of your life.

Millions of sociopaths live among us, yet most of us don’t know they exist. Donna Andersen was once one of the uninformed. But after her disastrous marriage to a man who she now believes is a sociopath, she has written this book, Love Fraud—How marriage to a sociopath fulfilled my spiritual plan, to tell the rest of us what they’re really all about.

You thought you found love, but you found a sociopath. You were burned — badly. Your ex is gone now, still, you hesitate to try again.

Your reluctance is understandable. But ...
don't give up! It is totally possible to find a shiny new romance, even after a nightmare experience. In this webinar, Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com, tells you how.

Once you're feeling centered — and Donna explains how to know when you are sufficiently healed — there are approaches and strategies you can employ to protect yourself from becoming involved with a scammer or exploiter again. Donna Andersen explains the warning signs of disordered behavior, how to check out prospective partners, and how to know if someone who seems to be doing nice things for you is faking it.

You've broken up with your partner. You know this person treated you badly, cheated on you and took advantage of your good nature. In fact, you now believe he or ...she is a sociopath. So why are you still in love?

If you've been dating a sociopath, Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com, explains that it's not love that you feel — it's addiction. Scientists believe that all romantic love is addictive.

In this webinar, Donna presents the three steps of breaking the hold that your ex has on you and moving on with your life. You'll learn the truth behind your relationship with the sociopath, how to overcome the obsession that you feel, and how to process the emotional pain. Donna will also answer your questions.

No matter how broken-hearted you feel after dating a sociopath, it's possible to recover. With this webinar, you'll learn how.

Sociopaths are really good at proclaiming their love. They can say the words "I love you" so quickly that it surprises us — how can they already feel that way? ...We just met! Sociopaths keep pouring it on, until we fall in love with them. But here's the catch: Our love is real and theirs is fake.

In this video, Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com, explains what sociopaths mean when they say, "I love you."

Sociopaths — or narcissists, borderlines or psychopaths, whatever you encountered — they are all incapable of real love. Even though they sound sincere and convincing, they do not have the ability to truly care about the wellbeing of someone else, which is what authentic love is all about.

So when sociopaths say the words, "I love you," what do they mean? Watch the video for 10 translations.

What did they want? Psychopaths, antisocials and other exploiters in romantic relationships

Escaping the sociopath and rebuilding your life

Your partner has betrayed you and everything is in shambles. Follow these parallel paths to recovery — solving the problems of survival for you and your family, and pursuing internal healing. In time, you can find joy and happiness again.

"Love Fraud and How to Avoid It"

Most of us believe everybody just wants to be loved. Unfortunately, this isn't totally true. ...
"There are people in the world who pursue romantic relationships not for love, but for exploitation," says Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com. "These people are sociopaths."

No, Andersen explains, sociopaths are not all deranged serial killers. But they are social predators. Perhaps 12 percent of the population, she says, have serious personality disorders that make them unsuitable—even dangerous—as romantic partners. In the beginning of a relationship, however, these people seem to be charismatic, charming, affectionate and sexy—until their targets are hooked. Then everything changes.

Andersen learned about sociopaths the hard way—by marrying one. Her ex-husband defrauded her of $227,000, cheated with six women in two years, fathered a child with one of them, and then committed bigamy. Her story is so outrageous that she was featured in two television shows: "Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry?" and "My Life is a Lifetime Movie."

In 2005, Andersen launched Lovefraud.com to educate the public about social predators, and the Lovefraud blog has evolved into a healing community of survivors. She also wrote "Red Flags of Love Fraud—10 signs you're dating a sociopath," and the accompanying "Red Flags of Love Fraud Workbook."

Usually sociopaths begin their deception and manipulation during the high school and college years, she says. Lovefraud's research shows that people who become involved with them at a young age suffer more serious harm—including physical abuse, psychological damage and thoughts of suicide—than those who meet the predators later in life. That's why students need to know that these disordered individuals exist.

The good news is that the dire consequences of love fraud are totally preventable— if students understand the warning signs. Based on her own experience and the thousands of cases she's collected, Andersen explains how people get hooked into these involvements, and how to get out of them. Dr. Liane Leedom, a psychiatrist who also knows about sociopathic relationships first-hand, consulted on the material.

"Love Fraud and How to Avoid It" covers:

• What is a sociopath? How many are there?
• Male and female sociopaths
• 10 signs you're dating a sociopath
• Dangers of online dating
• Healthy dating relationships
• Abusive dating relationships
• Why these relationships are addictive
• How to break up with an abuser
• Protecting yourself from sociopaths

"Arming students with this information," Andersen says, "will enable them to recognize exploiters and avoid interactions that could irrevocably damage their lives."

"Love Fraud and How to Avoid It" is appropriate for college and high school students. Andersen also offers a professional development program, "Sociopathy Awareness for Staff and Counselors."
