(147 posts)Just based on what you wrote, if you haven't already done so, do an online search for 10 signs of a psychopath. You might be unpleasantly surprised.
So many people don't understand that psychopaths are all around us...and in our families.
For what it is worth, I learned late in life that my own sister is a psychopath. They are hard-wired to not feel other peoples' pain or problems, not feel empathy, not feel much of anything except when it affects their own lives. They often demand attention.
There is no cure. There is no therapy for them that will really solve their problem.
There are always these two options:
1) Stick with them, but never allow them to get away with "winning" with their lies, back-stabbing, whatever. Too difficult, for me.
2) Turn your back and walk away from them, forever. This is what I did.
Something tells me, however, that you may be aware of this, and maybe you're looking for a little validation. Be happy in your decision; it was the right one, if you went through what I went through.
