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.

Itsjustme,
I tend to agree with you. I hate to think of the idea that evil wins over good. Maybe that’s a bit of naivete replaced by hard truths. I use to think there was good in EVERYONE. Nothing could be as bad as the heartaches I experienced in childhood. Well, then exP came along then ExPOS. I STILL believed there was good, but amazingly enough, I actually thought exP was not WORSE than exPOS.
I read somewhere once that the most covert, or passive aggressive are some of the most dangerous because they pass for normal and are harder to detect. ExP was very violent, both verbally and physically. At least with him, I knew what was coming. With exPOS, I didn’t see it for a long long time….
How many are REALLY out there? Or am I just paranoid now?

Yeah! I don’t know but… I really don’t believe that it is just paranoid.. I think that it’s bad, how many.
I use to get a lot of crap from family because I thought there was good in everyone. Every time something went wrong with someone in my life…they would say… ‘your problem is that you still believe that there is good in everyone.’ It use to make me so mad or invalidated or something. EDITED to say: But I get it now! there is not good in everyone apparently! Too bad I didn’t listen many years ago!
I have always fell for the pity ploy. I’m afraid that now I am so consumed by my own that I have nothing left and my patience when one startes is well beyond me!! That can’t be good either because then I am being selfish when someone really could use just a kind work or word. I guess.

What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.

you won’t be the victum of needless suffering.” Don Miguel Ruiz

Skylar, Wow! Your life story sounds like the stuff movies are made of! I’m so glad you finally opened your eyes and realized you were being conned. Better late than never. It’s astonishing your parents never tried to warn you if they knew this. Did they like the psychopath? Were they on his side?
It’s me, I’m glad you still jump to protect the innocent.
Shabby, that Don Miguel Rui quote is great and so true.
LL, four in the morning? Good morning! Do you ever sleep?

“When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others,
you won’t be the victum of needless suffering.” Don Miguel Rui
so true. that’s what leaves us vulnerable to spaths. We’ve already surrendered to their opinion of us when we accepted the love bomb.
Claudia,
all spath stories would make great TV because they create drama where ever they go. He played cons like this all the time. Only diff was, this time I didn’t bite.
Claudia
Sky, you’re so right. These psychopaths keep the Investigation Discovery Channel in business.

Claudia,
yeah the news media loves them.
Remember the balloon boy’s dad?
Classic P. I had just finished learning about P’s and I knew right away it was a P trick. They need constant attention and will tell outrageous lies to get it.
