Also, there seems to be a strong correlation between Narcissistic behavior and that of the sociopath, who also acts without conscience or empathy. (Some people just give them the blanket label as "con artists.")
I will be very interested to hear how your husband reacts to therapy. The N cannot bear to be challenged or forced to look at his behavior honestly in any way.

Seeker,
Thank you for your insight!! VERY interesting that you mention sociopath. The psychological testing that my N husband completed showed these characteristics as well as delutional. That scared me!!! I had been concerned with his abilty to do harm to me (as many notrious sciopaths have done) but when I learned this, I was conviced of it.

He claims he is going to check himself into an inpatient clinic to get help. I think a frontal labotomy might be in order!!!

I will allow him to do this in hopes that he really will get help for himself but am not relying on any improvement to come from it. There is nothing that I have read that indicates that there is any possible corrective treatment for NPD. If this is the case, then this will solidify my having full custody of my four children when the divorce is final!!
I'm being strong and not letting him "charm" me into anything. He is so fragile right now and cries about everything. I am a very compassionate person, but his crocodile tears do nothing to stir any emotion in me after what he did to me with the divorce and TRYING to take the kids away from me.

I'll keep you posted on his actual attempt (ha, if he follows through) at treatment.

Either way, in the end, God will prevail, as He has throughout this entire ordeal.
Blessings!!
