It’s not going to be easy
A few years ago I was told I had an incurable cancer that’s described as being “uniformly fatal.” In an early discussion I had with one of my doctors, I asked, “Am I going to get old?” His answer was, “I think so, but it’s not going to be easy.” As it turned out, cancer wasn’t the biggest problem I’d have. It was my association with a sociopath.
I should have known better than to trust this boy. I call him that because, although he’s legally an adult, he behaves like a child. He’s a narcissist and a sociopath. His life is a shambles, but he doesn’t know how to make it right or doesn’t care. He seems to be motivated by money, fame and whatever rewards het gets from manipluationg people.
When things don’t go his way, i.e., someone stands up to him, he lashes out at that person. As long as you play his game, you’re safe. If you make any effort to expose him, you’ll probably be very sorry. He has to win, and will destroy you to do it.
I can see how men like Scott Peterson decide they’re going to kill so they can “win.” They don’t know how to walk away. They DO know how to RUN away when they think they’re going to lose their freedom. As long as they have a few supporters they’ve manipulated into believing in them, they dig in their heels and throw whatever they have at you. Scott Peterson had his mother. She gave him cash to help him try to flee to Mexico.
The sociopath/narcissist I know has his mother too. Maybe this is a common thread. How many of these guys run to mommy at the first hint of something going wrong? How many of their mothers bail them out over and over? How many of them actually live with their mothers?
This person has stolen from me, lied to me, manipulated me, sued me and accused me of crimes. All because of his need to win this imaginary battle he has with me. All because I stood up for myself. I did what all of his past victims should have done. I called the police when he committed a crime against me. Would I do it again if I had it to do over? I probably wouldn’t have. It wasn’t worth the trouble, and I can see now that nobody cares. Not law enforcement. Not the court system. Heck, he was arrested in a state where there were already two active warrants, and they still released him on his word that he’d appear in court and $1000 bail! He had violated probation there before, so they should have known his word wasn’t any good.
Since then, he’s been to other states, had more arrests, and moved on. I’m defendng a civil action against me right now that he’s launched. All lies, of course, but that doesn’t matter to him. I’ve seen him lie in court. I’ve seen him lie to his family and friends. He’s lied to law enforcement, the media and anyone else he talks to. I don’t think there’s anyone alive who knows the truth about him.
I spoke to a police officer in our city about all that was going on. He said that someone without a conscience has no problem destroying someone’s reputation and can do it in five minutes if he wants to. He said that he likes to believe that good will prevail, eventually.
In the mean time, what can I do?

Have you read WOMEN WHO LOVE PSYCHOPATHS by Sandra Brown, MA? It’s eye opening.
And the support forum http://www.saferelationshipsmagazine.com/forum might help you. Talk to other who have been there and are “doing that” too.
