Surviving a Psychopath
Think of survival tips as red flags that warn us of impending danger. To ignore them may cause us mental and/or physical pain. The following survival tips are based on Barbara's personal experience with her own psychopath. Lessons learned are lessons to be shared.
Talk to someone when you feel doubt about what's happening in your relationship. Silence only helps the psychopath continue to offend.
If you are coming out of a bad relationship, learn about yourself first before seeking out another.
If he says he owns real estate, check it out. Talk is cheap. Lies are easy.
If he says he is divorced, check it out. Talk is cheap. Lies are easy.
If he says he has family, meet them within a reasonable amount of time.
If he says he works for the FBI or CIA, run as fast as you can. Jobs with clandestine ops make it easy for the psychopath to assume them when it is so hard for you to check them out.
If he talks about military exploits, be suspicious. Real men of valor usually keep horrific events to themselves.
Trust your Inner Voice and DO NOT IGNORE WHAT IT'S TELLING YOU!
If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
If he wants to borrow money or credit cards, say NO then ask yourself why he wants to do so. Don't fall for a sad story.
If he tells you sad stories to get you to want to take care of him, be brave and don't get sucked in. You don't need to fix another person's problems.
