Abusive Relationships and Domestic Violence

Actually, those symptoms sound like a few of the symptoms of someone who possibly - and I stress POSSIBLY - be suffering from sociopathy. The DMV notes numerous criteria and mental health history to be met before such a diagnosis can be made by a psychologist or pychiatrist, so be careful not to label anyone based only on a few unprofessionally diagnosed characteristics. Erika You are probably thinking of "schizophrenia". Schizophrenia is a difficult disease and hard on the person with it. There are medications that can help, but there is no cure. The person with schizophrenia must ALWAYS take their medications and if they skip a dose or refuse to take their medications as prescribed by the doctor they can become depressed, sometimes hear voices, and can have a complete mental break-down. They can disappear from their families and a person from a good home can end up on the seedy side of town and feel quite comfortable. Schizophrenics will lie (don't mean too) and gives the impression they have few emotions, but in truth, they are just totally confused. It's as if they are in a daze. Without the medications it's sad to see anyone with this disease because many of them hate to have the burden on their shoulders that they have this disease and many refuse to continue on with their medications because they want to be normal like anyone else. Until a psychiatrist or specialist in this field has actually diagnosed this person with schizophrenia then one should never accuse another of having this disease. If they do it's called "arm chair psychiatry." Narcissistic people can have some of these traits too. They can be extremely moody, perfectionists, demanding, unloving, and like to be in control of any situation of their lives. They have a "me attitude" and are argumentative with others. They are always right! They often don't know the meaning of love. They also have little regard for those with problems and consider others that admit they have a problem weak. Wishing you the best in 2006 Marcy My take is that it isn't just one cause. It is everything in their life. If they are drinking alcohol and/or using drugs, you could see the symptoms of acting like they don't care about anyone. It could also be depression if the person cannot feel others--or they have been abused so have learned to hold their feelings in. Lying all the time--that one so depends on the other possibilities and may go beyond a bad habit.

ANSWER

those symptoms as the above poster say is very general and they have said most of the things that could cause them,

the one i know is aspergers syndrom,

where the person is unable to express emotions properly

so they seem emotionaly dead, like they dont care about people

i used to think my boyf was such a lier, until we discovered aspergers was the prob,

it means he is unable to explain what he is saying, it can come out very wrong, and you hear what they said and NOT what they were trying to say.

have a look at this site it gives a better explanation of the problem and its symptoms and maybe have the person see a psychologist

You know them well. They may have been in your crowd growing up or in your neighborhood. You surely saw them in action at school or college. Oh no, you may have even noticed a bully or two at work. Corporate bullies come in all shapes, sizes and flavors. They could be a co-worker, a manager, your manager's boss or somewhere up the food chain.

When I grew up in the Edenwald housing projects in New York City I had a fight every day and never won any. Most of the fights were with bullies. My father gave me good advice. He said "fight like mad with all available weapons of opportunity. If a bully has to work to win a fight, they won't bother you again. They don't want to work that hard". My father was right. I hit them with everything and anything, when plain fists just wouldn't do. All of them became my friend or at least gave me big respect enough not to bother me, after each fight. After awhile, I had made so many friends I didn't have to fight anymore. I made allies out of the bullies.

Over the years I have maneuvered around corporate environments with the same type of attitude. There's no physical fighting and the weapons have changed. I became and continue to be a student in the use of the weapons called education, words, human nature and tactical strategy. Reading Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun and Sun Tzu Was a Sissy... has helped a little too.

Bullies mask their cowardice with various tactics. They may use intimidation, monopolizing meetings, not letting anyone else talk, taking all the credit for team projects, or even blatant threats, winning favor by ratting on others to the boss. Managing bullies love to use loss of a job as the ultimate tool. Eliminate the fear of this tool, by creating a secondary income. That's what "Savvy Intrapreneurs" do. A secondary income also allows you to tell your boss what she/he needs to know, not what you think they want to hear. This also means you will be more effective at performing your job. Set a goal of making your secondary income match your take home pay.

Find out what or who in the organization makes the bully afraid. Use this to your advantage. Notice the situations or make friends with the person that makes the bully cringe with fear. Everyone is afraid of something, unless they are mentally disturbed.

Learn to pick your fights with bullies. Standing up to bullies will make your star rise faster. You may not win all the time, but they will respect you. So will people under you, around you and above you in the corporate food chain. Add the tools above to your "fast track" management program.

Bullies are nothing more than insecure, hollow cowards who constantly seek attention. Smacking them back as hard or harder, without lifting a finger to physically touch them, is the secret to putting them in check.

There are all different types of stepmothers out there. Abuse can be any form, not just physical. Step mothers can come across as a sweet nice parents but, according to my stepmother she was one of those. Eventually she had my dad cutt all his 5 kids off financially( meaning no nothing) college, weddings, medical, nothing. And my step mom and dad are pretty wealthy people. They invest and own lots of property and homes. My step mom became so mean that she would pull out her calculator at restaruants to make sure she did not pay for a dime for any of us kids.So, you can see that physicaly she did not hurt me. But, emotionaly and financialy and medicaly she did. She even got so bad that she sold us a home when I first got married knowing that the house was not worth what she sold it to us for (ripped us off by 100 grand and we losts the house because when we went to sell it , it would not sell because of the costs of the house and it only had one bathroom. So , i quess the real answer to the question would be ,you can tell by the way your stepmother acts, comes across and takes care of you if she is abusive or not. Actions speaks louder than words. If she tells and acts a certain way and does antoher , she is probably not a very good step mother. And if she calls you names ,or hits you, then she diffently is abusive stepmom and needs to be thrown under a bus. Thanks for listening toddies

In some cultures, the ritual of marriage is used to bind the woman to the man -- in effect, causing him to take possession of her.

Obviously, this is a controversial issue, but it is deeply embedded in some cultures.

Any form disorder will affect the normal functioning of the body. The victim will not be able to do certain activities.

This question is best answered by your attorney or other professional in your province or country. It should be answered for free.

friends that are very close

If someone comes to visit and then plans to stay, how long do i have to put that person out?

In fear of

Yes, and they are mostly sadistic with themselves, but can pass off actions of sadistic behavior to their victims. They self-loathe themselves, feel righteous about their actions one moment and hating themselves the next. The more they think this way the more they take out their short-comings on their victims be in man, woman or child. Usually abusive people come from the environment they grew up in. The occasional one that came from a good family can just be plain mean to the bone because they're anger at the world in general. If the abuser was verbally/physically abused it's a chain reaction and he/she is very inwardly angry and takes all their frustrations and failures out on the victim. They are sort of like alcoholics ... alcoholics like to drink with other drinkers or alcoholics. The rate of abusive behavior being cured in a person is extremely low because the abuser honestly believes they are the ones that are sane and everyone else is crazy, so they seldom seek professional help. Marcy

In short, abuse is any action that disrespects another's request to stop.

Dictionary.com states that abuse is: To use wrongly or improperly; misuse: abuse alcohol; abuse a privilege. To hurt or injure by maltreatment; ill-use. To force sexual activity on; rape or molest. To assail with contemptuous, coarse, or insulting words; revile. Obsolete. To deceive or trick.

Well first you have to accept the fact that your being abused and that they wont change no matter what they say! Then you try and more on and get on with your life and you find another guy or girl and you dont try to work things out. Then you must finally wait for them to txt or call you when they want to and then they will come around but you must stop and think about how they hurt you and that you dont need to let them in as you did before. then finally you can see you have moved on from your significant other just as I have and then later on down the road maybe they will come around and maybe things will be better (:

but until then just hold on and try your hardest to forget them!

he certainly was.

Shouting at a loud volume is considered yelling. Yelling at someone is offensive and puts them on defense. Screaming and shouting is not an effective form of communication and can ruin relationships. If you can't communicate without using a medium voice and kind tone than take a time out. There is a proverb that says a soft answer turns away wrath and contention.

If you have the choice, do not talk to a narcissistic man. Run like the wind! Do not delude yourself into thinking you can have anything resembling a real relationship with a narcissistic man. In fact, these men are usually very harmful and destructive.

If you must engage in conversation with a narcissist for some reason, listen more than you speak. Flatter him. Demonstrate interest in what he has to say. Center on him, his achievements, his thoughts, how he must have felt, etc. Do not challenge his assertions or opinions. Do not offer your own stories as examples. He can only feign interest. Hang on his every word and agree with him.

My opinion is different then above:i think you should talk to him say what you think be assertive and show how you really are so he knows whos he is talking to but to be honest i think they still would try to get you as supply even if they know you are strong.Because that's what they do they test everybody that seems interesting,intelligent and pretty or caring. When they get everything from you they discart you as an empty paper cup

• Someone or some people may see you have a high potential to be very successful in life and often this can be the truth if the person who has a potential sees it in themself.
  

A voluntary long-distance relationship is an oxymoron. There is little you can do when you are not there to help her. You may wish to refer her to these articles:

There is only one solution to this problem .. you move to where she is. I know this may be impossible for you, but if there is any chance of you doing this and you love this girl it is well worth it. If you are just going together and are not all that close then I would stay right out of it.

I must admit I don't have great faith in long distance relationships. You need to touch that person once in awhile. Unless the 2 can visit each other at least once a month, also call each other at least once a week, then the relationships don't usually last. Good luck Marcy

if you have that problem there should be immediate action took, right away!! he or she should be put on immidiate punishment by takin there most prized posetion like a cell phone laptop etc.. if it doesnt stop kick them out or tell them you would call the police..

No, you should never tell an abuser you love them and if you think you love them then you need psychological counseling because abusing a person is not about love. You don't hurt the ones you love! Get out of this relationship while you still can!

It becomes a question of a decision between the lesser of two evils. You have to choose which one is worse in the long run. If you stay in an abusive relationship you die internally, until there's no more YOU or until you are broken. Then you become a robot with no real emotions or the ability to decide. Another point, is at least if you choose to leave, there's a chance for a new journey and growth. Albeit, it may take awhile, but the steps should be based on rebuilding yourself in a whole new way. One choice is based on fear and poor self worth; the other is based on freedom to choose. The bottom-line is what you believe to be the best course of action for you in the long run. Listen, things end and cycle back around, but few doors open to a healthy mental outlook for yourself. Think about what you want and make an internal plan and execute it.
