• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm very sorry you're in a bad situation. Is he your husband? If not you might consider getting help from some family. It's hard to be open about these things, but once you are things should begin to change.

I hope things become better for you very soon.

Narcissistic Psychopath - that's the official name for it.

I know because I had the misfortune to get hooked up with someone like that.
I was lucky. I was with him for less than a year and we didn't have any kids and I had my own house to go back to. He was forced, financially, to leave the county.

The last time I saw this guy, I literally walked him backwards out of my house, with a baseball bat in my hand (that I purchased especially with him in mind). Even after that, he stalked me for a year after that with emails, letters, and phone calls.
He finally gave up and I'm sure he's found another victim to torture.
There is no getting away for most.

What worked for me was standing my ground and fighting back. He showed me he was actually a coward and a bully one night when he hit me and pushed me out of his house - by the time I stepped outside I was so mad I put down my purse and said, "You want to hit me? Come here!" know what he did? He stepped back into the house and locked the storm door.
He knew he was cooked then.

I don't know how you can get away, but I feel your pain.
(I had my pets with me at the time too and I know how you feel about leaving them behind)

I was searching for the original article I found way back then, but couldn't find it.
I found this instead:

(oh, I have to have 50 posts before I can post a link)
Do a Google search for:
The Gray Rock method of Dealing With Psychopaths

Wish I had seen this when I needed it.
Be The Gray Rock, girl!!
