I think a psychopath would laugh their ass off at you pitying them so. They think you are weak and they will play you until YOUR demise, not theirs, all the while crying the victim about how they can't help it, they are just ill, it's not their fault (sound familiar?)
A psychopath is not the same as someone with a broken leg. It's more like an angry person with a gun. If you stay, you are more likely to be the one hurt, not them.
A fine way you have of blaming the victim for not getting psychopaths help. It's not up to the victims of psychopaths - it's up to science. Until science comes up with a way to deal with psychopathy, yes, they are basically a 'write off' for your average person - they cannot deal with them and must escape. Unless you are a trained professional, it's not up to YOU to save the psychopath.
