My husband was branded a sociopath too. He was very charming before our marriage. I got swept along and was married in less than a year. On our honeymoon he changed. Hit my in the head, that was the start of his abuse. I just saw it as a temper problem and kept thinking I could help him. I stayed for 2 1/2 years. I have had a lot of bad things happen in my childhood but living with him caused PTSD. When I got my divorce unknown to me the judge had my husband see two independent Pdocs, both came to the same conclusion, so the judge ordered monitored visitation with our daughter.

Please do get you, your child and pets to safety.
