I wanted to share with this group my 5 year off and on encounter with a Psychopath. NC is vital because for me 99% of the time I was unable to see the true evil he was. I was swindled and brainwashed into his sick perverted world. What started out as the most amazing man I had ever met ended up with a man in a law enforcement uniform with his 40 lb belt on the floor choking me as we were engaged in so-called passion. I told him I would never look at a police officer the same again which he replied, "well we are here to serve and to make sure the taxpayer is getting what they pay for" What ever happened to "protect" I wondered. Naturally he claimed I enjoyed being slapped around a bit when in reality it scared the hell out of me, pulling my hair, holding my head down to where he wanted it. He claimed that next time he would really take control. I never stuck around to find out. This was a man you would NEVER NEVER dream that would be capable of physically hurting a woman for his pleasures, let alone wanting to see me raped as he many times stated.

Some of us are still trying to extract ourselves, many of us painfully struggle with NC we count the days, hours and minutes and pat ourselves on the back as each day passes. I realize now more than ever at least for me, it was NEVER this predator that was difficult to remove myself from, it was and still is the painful journey back to what I once was. Naturally its impossible to achieve this while we remain in contact. Its a process of letting go of the belief in what we thought they were and accepting with all our hearts and minds what they became and knowing we can NEVER NEVER change what they are. I really try not to focus on all the millions the bastard has but on what the bastard IS. As I struggle now bankrupt, losing my job because of PTSD, as he is comfortable in his mansion I know there is nothing FAIR about this, as life isnt fair but I also know I can get back what he took from me; my dignity, respect, morals, ethics and general love of life and living. Isnt it ironic what they rob us of they never had, or never will have and yet we have the power and capability to get ourselves back and never allow them to take it from us again.

I aways thought it would be as easy as saying,"He was disordered and sick and I will move on and heal" However, that is only coming to the realization of what HE is. The HARDEST part is facing the reality of the damage they did to us and you see that so clearly when you go through NC. NC is us finally letting go of an illusion, a man that was never the real thing or will be. A man that was highly highly disturbed.

So you see you beautiful ladies (and men) we were all chosen for the great human beings we were and STILL are, and we will discover that one day again.

yes I am struggling with the reality that this man will NEVER get better. There will be NO happy ending. I think thats the hardest part is the death of hope for him. The idea that I may see that sweet boy that I fell in love with all those years ago. Hes gone and hes not coming back. Like a true addict, I want just one more conversation where he is sweet and loving. I think to myself just one more then Im done but no its never done you just want more and what you have to endure to get that "one more time" is unbelievable.

I was so touched by your response and I am glad you felt encouragement from my experience and perspective. I am sorry you also suffered at the hands of these criminals as I did.

He has been broken and dead all his life, wish I felt strong and wonderful lynn, with work we will all come out of this in a much better place than they will ever achieve. But OMG it takes so much work to get back to where we were, that is the part that really sucks about being a victim that we have to take responsibility for it, if we dont we dont have a chance -

x0x0 warm hugs to you

hi never lookback

Hi i am sorry you been trough this experience....i can only say trying to realize and accept what happened is a hell of a ride...there are a lot of questions in our hearts and minds but most will be left unanswered...the ONE thing you have to realize is that first it is not your fault,second they are disordered and sick....they do not change and no matter who they are with,they will behave the same...so,go NC is not easy for some,but remember re contact will only bring more confusion,sadness and damage to your self esteem....i know,i learned my lesson in a very hard way....but everyday is a new one,so if you relapse,do not be hard on yourself...i wish you can find comfort in here knowing you are not alone....HUGHS

SO DID I

.i know,i learned my lesson in a very hard way..

I spoke of NC and how painful it is for most of us, I think during that NC we want soo much to answer that call, or text, or even just to hear those caring words they once said to us they feed us more false hope and false illusions and for maybe just one brief moment they once again return to what we thought they were, but it never lasts it only furthers our pain and confusion. We KNOW what REAL LOVE for another human being is and it most certainly does not include physically hurting someone to entertain their sadistic pleasures and wanting to watch someone suffer by watching them be raped, or whatever sick thing they are into.

Aceonelady, I fell so deeply in love with a man who was mentally sick and as they say IT WAS NEVER OUR FAULT and I believe that with all my heart but what I ask myself is How in the hell could someone so NOT RIGHT manage to do this to me, I guess you can call it their psychopath powers which enables them to succeed at what they set out to do to their victims. I have come far, I made it through all the love triangle bullcrap making me believe he had a GF which indeed he does but who cares his treatment of her is also horrible abuse. I wonder how I would like to know that my boyfriend while on duty is out screwing other women and into physically hurting women for pleasure. Oh but of course when he found me I WAS THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE and the GF and he werent doing good, you know that story.

None of that of course matters the ONLY thing that matters and I repeat the ONLY thing that matters is they are forever deranged and always will be and everyone who is with them is taken for a ride to hell and back. Secret hidden sick lives they live and they find victims that will turn themselves inside out for them and love them unconditionally. When we look at this experience 6 months or a year from our extraction I know we can look back and see them for what they truly were. I know all of us wish personally our particular psychopath would self destruct and we would all love to see that, some of us do but most of us probably never will be able to witness it. I do know that the odds are against them in their quest and search in what they live for. When you are set out in life to only hurt others and gain power over them in the end you only end up destroying yourself so they are on a slow path to self destruction and all the money in the world cant save them from that. All the money in the world wont buy them a conscience and the ability to be normal. I truly believe that is their inner torture for the rest of their lives.

My hugs back to you and may we always find strength from each other in knowing it was NEVER our fault and we were never alone.
