A sociopath typically selects victims based on perceived vulnerability, such as emotional instability, low self-esteem, or isolation, which makes them easier to manipulate. They often assess potential targets by observing their behaviors and interactions to identify weaknesses. Sociopaths may also choose individuals who can provide them with something they desire, such as financial gain, social status, or emotional support, ensuring a calculated advantage in the relationship. Ultimately, their choice is driven by a lack of empathy and a desire for control or exploitation.

Can a sociopathic be a kidnapper?

They learn to prey on the weaknesses of their targets. They are psychological kidnappers. How do they do this? They work at fitting into your world, so that you believe them. They notice what you love and enjoy and find ways to degrade whatever you love or enjoy. They create unnecessary situations, and demand that you fix the problems they cause and name you responsible. They notice your reactions, and then prey on your life. It's not possible to enjoy something around them, or they will seek to ruin it. It's not possible to not enjoy terrible situations they bring into your life. Either way, bad or good around a sociopath enables them to control the victim. I tried not responding at all, and got this, "Your mother is insane, she doesn't respond to anything." When the victim figures out what's going on, the sociopath knows this and plays on the people in her life....her children, her family to bring them in, and have them work with him to control and own her life. This does feel like kidnapping, and escaping the sociopath is a horrid experience. By the time a victim chooses to escape, they know too much about the sociopath, and he/she is insistent they must ruin you. This is psychological kidnapping. The hardest part for the victim is that they did a lot of work in a lifetime with a sociopath. To escape, they leave everything behind....both the good and the bad is left, so grief will be there. The victim lives in a state of confusion over the dreams they had to make the relationship work, and the abuse.

What do you do if your husband is a sociopath?

Get away from him and the relationship. Tell him to get help, or lose you. As simple as that, and I mean intense therapy. If he thinks he has no problems and doesn't want help, then help yourself and do what ever you need to do to prepare for leaving him, and divorcing him. Find someone to stay with, break off all contact (which is hard because a sociopath's victim often becomes almost addicted to them and the cycle of sociopath abuse). Good luck, and run as fast as you can to save yourself. It's very rare for a sociopath to ever change or want to change, even meds and therapy rarely help them.


Why do sociopaths want to remain in your life after a break up?

It is my opinion sociopaths want to remain in someone's life for one reason and one reason only.....The sociopath believes there is something left to gain for themselves.....If there were nothing more to gain the sociopath believed he could still benefit from the relationship; it would be over and the sociopath would move on to fresh game and more inviting conquests. For example, if a couple divorce, the sociopath would continue to fuel the first relationship to gain more money or material goods. It is interesting to note, in my opinion, the sociopath could already be involved in a new relationship or perhaps a third or fourth and still be actively devouring relationship number one.
