In reply to the discussion: I lived with a sociopath and liar. They really really believe what they say. [View all]no_hypocrisy
(46,067 posts)29. My father.
Also I lived with a psychopath and nobody called him on it -- except me. And that made me "the enemy" and the family "pot stirrer".
How bad was it? Dad once called me to demand (not ask) that I tell him all the ways he hurt me. I told him to sit down as it was going to take a while. One hour later, after a litany of real transgressions including blocks of exchanges, he claimed that he didn't remember any of the incidents and/or conversations. I didn't know what made my eyes bulge more: the list of injuries or his denial.
When he died, I shed no tears, nor did my brother and sister.
