I want to say Thank You to all the great authors and producers of the many awesome videos that are out there. Many I have placed here throughout this website however there are still many more that I waiting to be seen.
I was a victim of emotional abuse. My ex girlfriend would get annoyed at me for no possible reason and would yell at me. She would say things like I need to grow up and stop acting like a child. She would also tell me things like she loved me and adored me only to be angry with me for no possible reason the nest minute. She manipulated me. I would drop everything for her and go to her beck and call. I wasn’t allowed to call her even if I did she would be furious with me. I was walking on pins and needles well into the relationship. I thought I had found the love of my life. The sad thing is, I still love her and always will. If she were to ever call me and tell me she wants to get back together while I’m in a another relationship, I would drop everything and go back to her. Regardless of how she would treat me I thought that’s how true love was meant to be. I still love her and always will.

By Ox Drover There are some things in life that we accept as “truths” whether we understand just why they are true or not. We accept that the world is essentially round, that it revolves around the sun, that light is white and the absence of light is dark. We don’t have to truly understand exactly [...]
We’ve discussed many of the sociopath’s traits, such as his missing empathy and compassion; his tendency to remorseless interpersonal exploitation; and proclivity to audacious acts of lying, deception and sundry other violating behaviors. Now, I’m tempted to add to the mix what I call the sociopath’s tendency to “irrational optimism.” By “irrational optimism […]
Evil exists. If you need proof, just look at the horrific case of little Charleeni Ferreira. Charleeni, age 10, of Philadelphia, Pa., died on October 21, 2009. Her father, Domingo Ferreira, 53, and stepmother Margarita Garabito, 43, were charged with murder and endangering the welfare of a child. So how bad was the abuse? The [...]
By Ox Drover “The Road Not Taken” is always out there beckoning to us. I should, I could … Why did I do that? Why didn’t I do that? Regrets!

A Lovefraud reader forwarded a link to a newspaper article about a con artist convicted yesterday in the United Kingdom. The guy was known as “King Con,” and for good reason. Bounder with a barrister’s wig preyed on women from lonely hearts page ads The guy did everything from masquerading as a prominent barrister (lawyer) to stiffing [...]
When we realize that we’ve been involved with a sociopath, and that person has callously betrayed us, we inevitably ask, “Why? Why did this happen to me?” To help find the answer, one of the books that Lovefraud recommends is The Betrayal Bond—Breaking Free of Exploitive Relationships, by Patrick J. Carnes, Ph.D. The book explains [...]
This week we received the following letter from a reader of the blog. I wanted to share both the letter and my reaction to it with you: After 30 yrs of marriage and abuse, I have finally left my passive aggressive sociopathic narcissist husband. I have managed the No Contact fairly well, of course he is the [...]
