Like us, Claudia Moscovici had her run-in with a psychopath, one that almost destroyed her marriage. Since then, like many of us, she has thoroughly researched this destructive personality disorder. She started a blog called “Psychopathy Awareness,” and wrote two books: a novel called The Seducer, and an upcoming nonfiction book called Dangerous Liaisons.
In her review of my book, Love Fraud—How marriage to a sociopath fulfilled my spiritual plan, Claudia writes, “I didn’t think I could learn much more about the subject, but Donna’s book proved me wrong.”

Love Fraud is available in the Lovefraud Store.
LMAO at LL – wtf – now your spath is smarter than everybody else’s. We dont think this is a big deal? ok I give up – your right – your screwed…..
My spath has been in the same job for 25 years now. With promotion a few years back before they knew about us, which opened up an investigation and his being put on AL. He used me to get his job back, and it worked. Admittedly. They watch him closely now. All who work with him, HATE Him…no matter, he was put back into his management position.
He can do whatever he wants to me. He’s ordered NOT too, but they made it clear that they can’t make him do anything while on “off” time
I’m so upset. We just had a landslide above us. We sit on an “ancient” landslide potential which has been slipping since November. We heard a large CRACK in the last hour….a tree and the smell of dirt in the last hour….
My car is parked a few feet away and they have tarps all over the place here.
I”M SO PISSED!
Spathy property. Money over lives.
A bunch of us standing outside going “WTF???”
Not anymore. I’m calling the local new crews
Bastards. We live in a low income place.
They don’t get away with this.
LL
Hens,
I don’t mean it that way…
It’s just TO ME, from my perceptions, he SEEMS that way…
who would be so STEALTH, really????
Most here are not HIGHLY functional like my spath. A good job over many years….croines who feed him and those that don’t……….well, they’re easily disposed of.
I guess you could consider my spath “white collar” in his crimes.
NEVER been to jail. EVER. UTMOST in credentials….credit…
Same job for 25 years. Same owned house for over fifteen.
Yea, that doesn’t describe half the “low life’s” here that feed off of others for money…
Mine is parasitic…
Just not in the same way.
He’s successful.
Which has taught him to be MORE mind fucking.
And he’s damned good at it, Hens.
Sorry, but he is.

JustMe,
My low thyroid is subclinical, you have to go to an endocrenologist(sp?) who specializes in thyroid to get accurate testing for that.
I know what you mean about being passionate. It means we feel everything intensely, good and bad. The buddhists say that true happiness is found in the middle ground, away from the swings of good and bad. Away from drama. I’m like you, very intense. I can’t imagine being otherwise. That’s why I use intellectual distractions to bring me off my emotional highs and low. I use a puzzle that I carry with me. Or books about interesting subjects. We have to be determined to stay balanced or we become food for the N’s who live on DRAMA. Just say NO to drama. It’s what attracts them. They test us to see if we make good supply. The test is a DRAMATIC episode. If we react with drama, then we are good supply. If we stay stone faced and gray rock, then they might slither away.
stealth is the name of the game
Lesson,
Apparently he’s not that good at it or so many people wouldn’t be on to him, hate him, watching him closely, divorced him more than ONCE! and God knows what his kids think of him. 🙂
ps Bernie Madoff was successful too, for how many years?
One Joy,
’ failing to plan is planning to fail’, Ah yes, but I planned today and failed. Tomorrow is a new day.
I HAVE to go to seattle tomorrow for various bill-paying reasons. AND it’s my dad’s bday and if I don’t go he will cry. My rejection of him is killing him and me both. My mom, well, frankly I don’t know what she is. I can’t tell you how strange our dance is. My whole life she has been the ONE. I worshipped my mom. My dad was just silly old dad. Very narcissistic and grandiose. We had power struggles when I was a teen. I disliked his macho behavior and dismissing of women. I vowed never to date or marry a man like him. ARGH! spath was worse x ten hundred trillion. I scraped the bottom of a toilet when I got my spath. NO mother fucking question about it. Even spath knew it.
But now, things are starting to clarify. When I first moved there. I would cry loudly. My brother would hear. He’d tell my mom. She would tell my dad and he would come down to hug me while she stood and watched. WTF? She couldn’t hug me? oh my god, now Im crying thinking about it. what’s wrong with her? When I showed her the letter from my spath, she laughed. It was the letter I found in his bible. who would laugh? My BF, acted similarly. He got visibly upset and tried to hide it by deriding spath’s retarded spelling. Then he didn’t want to talk about it. the next day he pronounced his opinion: “Doug didn’t mean what he said because nowhere in the letter does he actually admit to any SPECIFIC transgressions. It must’ve been a fake” Then BF said he didn’t want to discuss it anymore.
My dad is definitely an N and he can’t hide it. Tomorrow he turns 78. I have to go visit him and I think it’s why the last few days have been so upsetting. The N father has shown more feeling than my sainted mother since the incident. And all through it she has tried to slander him and blame him. Last time we spoke she said, “oh if only we hadn’t been so poor and ignorant..!” I replied, “mother, I watched my friends’ mommies giving them hugs and kisses when they were dropped off at our house. You never did that. You just dumped us. That doesn’t COST anything.” No reply. Well to be fair, he didn’t hug and kiss us either. But at this point, he is showing a side that she isn’t.
Katy,
I’m just assuming. they may not be at all, but from what I’ve seen, yea they are….
Right now, just trying to maintain NC.
Publicity is now given to the place where we live as a result of a landslide.
He will attempt more contact. If only that as the excuse.
I’ve been trying to move. I have an appointment tomorrow evening to look at another place. Landlord seems to like me. She blew off my daughters’ gf for the same place. Ah, we shall see….
Just hurting………….damn all of this………
Just want to be somewhere for spring with my wiener so I can plant a garden and watch his stupid ass sit in the sun…he loves the sun. Gets him all “drugged” up lol!
LL
I have no clarity………
It sucks being so early in the process…………
I don’t feel I can work at anything else other than NC right now at such a critical time with the dynamics within the relationshit.
I want to respond to him…………..
But I can’t
I’m a very troubled human being right now………..
It pisses me off…………
LL
LL,
my spath looks homeless and yet millionaires hand him hundreds of thousands. They feel honored to meet him. He’s larger than life, heroic, tom sawyer, the best thing that ever happened in their boring corporate lives. He smells, rotted teeth, greasy hair, pot belly (and tiny dick). Who can understand this crap? A spath can. They READ us.
I saw the signs and my intuition warned me over and over, but I did not heed because it just couldn’t be true.
I’ll explain: If I had found out that he had a drug habit or porn addiction or alcohol addiction… well that’s a human failing, lots of people have that, I would have tried to deal with it. But the warning signs were not those. The warning signs were that he was SATAN. AN EVILMURDERER, CHILD RAPIST, ARSONIST AND SADIST. So of course, I ignored those. Who would believe that? Not me. It couldn’t be real, I must have imagined it. The human mind just can’t fathom evil. not really, we only can fathom it as an abstract. It’s only when it unmasks that we finally get it. LL, its a BLESSING.
Watch this as often as you have to until it sinks in:
