- Believing the unbelievable sets us freeBy Ox Drover There are some things in life that we accept as “truths” whether we understand just why they are true or not.

- The sociopath’s irrational optimismWe’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 […]

I would like someone to analyze this to get [...]
- He Will Call It Love. (May contain triggers.)I am often asked how I managed to get out of that place of darkness to live with such light and joy in my heart today. The answer is fairly simple — I chose to. The reality is much more complex. The following piece describes where I got to in that journey. It is an [...]
- Classic psychopath convicted in the UKA 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 [...]
- Finding meaning in the betrayal by the sociopathWhen 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 [...]
- ASK DR. LEEDOM: Why has my husband cut our daughters out of his life?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 [...]
- All that glitters is not goldBy Ox Drover Going through my family photos I came across one of my two oldest sons. We had gone on vacation to Montana to visit a friend for the summer in 1981.
