being in public is one of the very few ways to be safe around a sociopath. you shouldn't ever be alone around a sociopath. they can be extremely dangerous. think of them as a very large predator and act accordingly
It is better that they know so that they know what they're dealing with. They should only be told if a professional diagnosis has been reached. Tell them the truth so that they are protected.
Sociopaths do not believe when you tell them and it may be very dangerous. Get help.
you get a restraining order and you tell the judge that he is a sico and then your child will be safe
"You are a sociopath." However, if they truly are, it won't matter to that person.
poor child!
confront them
Be sure your wife was diagnosed by a proper doctor and he determined she was a sociopath. If this is true, then you do have a right to take your children to a Child Psychologist and I suggest you do. However, if the damage is great you are going to have to seek legal counsel for a separation and try to get sole custody of your children until your wife seeks professional help. Good luck Marcy
If the behaviour of a parent is that of a sociopath then yes it can sometimes be inherited. Children copy their parents, they rationalise the behaviour as normal and so they replicate it.
yes
Go to Family Court requesting protection. If he has custody, you should petition the courts to have it taken away from him, and request that any visits with him and the children be supervised. If he is doing it without legal access, get a restraining order.
If you were involved with one and he/she is a chameleon and fools others (only for a short time usually) then worry about getting on with your own life and realizing that others can look after themselves. Sociopath/narcissist will hang themselves every time ... they just have to open their mouths!
mrs.frisby tells her children about their father because if jonathan didnt know the rats she would never of had been able to get help from the rats
There is nothing you can do about it being true if it is so. If an ex husband is truly a sociopath and relations are ongoing, it is imperative that one learn as much as possible about self protection and protection of children/teenagers. Sociopaths vary in their dangerousness to others but are by definition superior manipulators of even the most educated minds.
Definitely tell people! They need to know!
