A paper recently published in the Journal of Zoology says that great white sharks hunt in a highly focused fashion, just like serial killers.
According to a report on ScienceDaily.com, the researchers used geographic profiling—a criminal investigation tool used to find serial killers based on the locations of their crimes—to examine how the hunting patters of great white sharks off the coast of South Africa.
Sharks establish well-defined hunting bases in strategic locations. The researchers noticed that smaller sharks searched further, and had less success, than larger sharks. They surmised that great white sharks refined their search patterns with experience, and concentrated their hunting in locations with the highest probability of success.

I have another tip…
Always take stock of what they read.
Check their bookshelf.
Reading is the barometer of who we want to be.
Your future lies in those pages.
Yeah…..mine was never a problem, worrying about him ‘growing’ through reading….the only books he read were about how a professional sport coach got his team to the playoffs, or best places to surf etc….
Even his father, the last time he visited left a Dr. Phil book for him…..it disappeared quick…..he laughed about it, rather than seeing a man who is so non emotional (his father) noticed his son would benefit from this type reading.
S always said…..’I’m not going to change’…..How true, how true…..he is still the small minded, stupid inbicil that he always was.
You would think a person who ‘lost’ so much would have a look inside at SOME point?
It was pretty obvious by the outcome that ‘ITS BROKE’….maybe someone (HIM) should look into fixing it!
But he will carry on, not broken, having not broken relationships and self destructing his whole life.
NOT MY PROBLEM!
DWR, I don’t think we can discount ANYTHING….all knowledge about the S’s is power and ‘stock’….it is a window to ‘who’ they are…..I totally agree!
An escape manual/workbook would be be a worthwhile project.
Identify the various domains in which they operate:
Domestic
Work
Emotional
Sexual
Financial
Spousal
Parental
Control Domination
Control Humiliation
Control (Intimidation & Fear)
Control Finance (Income & Debt)
Control (Space & Time)
It’s a potentially long list given that they will exploit any and all means possible to coerce, trap, drain and humiliate their prey.
I imagine they they each have their own preferred dining style.
Mine has an infinitely sumptuous buffet upon which they sup themselves with great relish.
I hear the battle of Titans…
I love your advice….I think we can all gain insight into the worlds of toxic people the more we know about them, the more we document and expose to ourselves.
We need to do our own PI and recon work to have successful escapes on all levels. No exit is ever the same on any level….financial, emotional, children, health or well being.
In my case, I knew I could never walk away without him attacking on every level….so I called on my ‘inner sociopath’ and fought fire with fire.
It wouldn’t have mattered if I gave up all of me, possesions or anything else…it just wouldn’t matter…he would still view it as he ‘lost’. He made it clear he would never let me go, I was always going to be HIS girl.
So I had to take the stance I did…..I was relentless, and continue to be….I have to shut down every avenue of potential strikes by him.
It get’s easier, because I know him so well…..and I have the benefit of good recon. I have great support, yet it doesn’t stop people from trying to control me by ‘switching’ sides….my parents are people that waver….which blows my mind….but I proceed with great caution.
My reputation is being restored by my own actions, keeping my ever faithful character and demeanor. I do not talk about the S, even when community members ask….they are questioning him, by his own behaviors and actions, if they are truely interested….they can find out on their own…..or ask other community members…..it doesn’t need to come from me….I’m taking the high road on this angle and it has served me well thus far.
It’s the old saying…..keep your friends close and enemies closer.
OR-
Know your enemy.
I look forward to hearing more of your insight and intellect on the subject of protection.
You sound as if you may have had the benefit of ‘inside’ informational routes…..
Thanks for your posts!

(love the Lost in space reference! 🙂
I made a choice not to take further legal action against the S after I defeated him this spring. I believe he realized he was losing ground, that I was an equal strategist in his attempt to destroy me, and that at each point he upped the stakes I matched him in terms of upping those stakes so that he likely realized it was going to take a LOT to bring me down, he could lose, and it was better to quit and save face. He was “getting stupid” so to speak andmaking mistakes too… hee hee! 🙂 I could’ve continued the battle in court but for now have chose not to as the emotional and physical safety of my family and myself is worth more than engaging in a legal battle… the potential of that pandora’s box is far too great, as KathleenH and Oxy point out so well, and especially so when I have already beat him at his own game for now. He has been quiet for over a month and I am enjoying the lack of drama and chaos in my life now. Instead I look for ways to “inconvenience” him as I think Matt says, such as “helping”
other people in their dealings with him, stealth activities to discredit him, etc.
Although I do not think I am currently in a place to act on it, I believe he was either involved in directly or indirectly, I’m not sure, or in any case, likely has knowledge of a murder crime in the military that remains unsolved. I have no evidence other than his reactions to it in the past, and a “gut” feeling. I also realize that his reactions could also be that tendendcy of an S to inflate the importance of his role in something.
The family member of the victim is active online and I thought about posting a “tip” to look into him more but think that would be traceable, etc. Do either of you, especially you DWR with your background, or any one else here have any ideas as to how to do so in a safe way?

Mine has consumed a long list of books written about betrayal and intrigue. They are war manuals in the hands of P. Mine tapped into an artesian well of evil and debasement. Imagine living in the Matrix with Dr. Mengala and the Marquis de Sade managing the Spanish Inquisition. In this world an Iron Maiden would be a mild form of acupuncture.
It definitely ranks as my greatest intellectual challenge to date.
Mind you I just just saw the checkered flag, so they have a few laps on me for the moment. A book of my own would be the best revenge. Of course all the names would be changed to protect the guilty and innocent alike.
Interesting DWR, the one I knew was extremely interested in MY library ( my paintings, my furniture, why I had certain nick-nacks and pieces even took photos of them…BIG red flag).He went through the lot and said they very same as you.’Reading is the barometer of who we want to be.’ When finally I saw his plastic two shelf collection of doctor who novels from his teenage years It didnt quite reflect what he was peddling me … Its certainly something that I will always take note of from now on…
The more things change, the more they remain the same…
Potemkin villages were purportedly fake settlements erected at the direction of Russian minister Grigory Potyomkin to fool Empress Catherine II during her visit to Crimea in 1787. According to this story, Potyomkin, who led the Crimean military campaign, had hollow facades of villages constructed along the desolate banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the monarch and her travel party with the value of her new conquests, thus enhancing his standing in the empress’s eyes.
ooh – just waffling now, he had ONE painting in his house ‘Fallen Angels’, by
François-Edouard Cibot, I spotted it straight away and asked why he liked it, he said it was nothing to do with the subject matter he just thought it was a beautiful painting… then set about picking up flowery non descript paintings from goodwill stores… gad what an idiot I was.
What they say about beauty being in the eyes of the beholder is so true on many levels…
Now I see just see and smell a lot of “blue cheese”.
