Hi Jody, You are not alone. I have had NC with my psychopathic son for about 7 years. I expect never to see him again. He is 38. I brought him up myself with love, empathy, understanding, generousity etc. He appreciated nothing. he raged, lied, blamed, put me down again and again and again. The nicer, mor understanding etc I was to him, the meaner he got towards me. He is a clone of his father (I divorced his father when he was 2 - 36 years ago). They ruin your life, and everyones life around them. becuase I made that horrible mistake of marrying a psychopath. I gave birth to a psychopath. I have no other children. I am reasonably happy now. I have friends, interests, and my health, and I suppose in the sheme of things I am OK. I'm sure he is slandering me all over the place. That's what they do. but that is HIS problem. Anyway, in my case . . . no contact was the only way. I am sorry I ever gave birth to him. |
