I can understand it albeit it makes me a little nervous, too, for you. I don't like to sound like the voice of doom but someone who's sociopathic, as far as I'm aware, doesn't get turned around....or, if they can/do.....it's not without a humongous amount of therapy over an extended length of time. I worry you're possibly thinking about "hanging in there" for all of that. Meanwhile, your life is not getting longer with each passing day, week, month.....understand?

Nobody gets married to get divorced. Nobody gives their heart to have to take it back. It stinks. It all-around stinks to high heaven.

But safety first. For your children. For your animals. For you.

Are you in therapy? Going, at least to NAMI or DBSA support group? (Sorry if I'm asking redundant questions.)
