A friend I made through this forum helped me see that, and recommended the book The Sociopath Next Door. I can't tell you how eye opening it has been, like reading about my husband.
Hugs to you, I don't know what you are considering doing, but have seen a couple of your posts and I believe you commented on one or 2 of mine as well. Best of luck to you, and don't lose hope for a better future.
@Anca2103, I just read about what a narcissist sociopath is. My husband does not fit anti-social personality disorder, so I believe he is NPD - an abusive NPD at that.
