And i was HOPING someone has been through this, and might have some MUCH NEEDED advice!!!
Im really finding it hard to come to terms with, I have no idea how i deal with things from now on!!
Any advice would be muchly appreciated!

Hi Jem,

I would wait until you have the condition diagnosed by a doctor or a psychiatrist before seeking treatment for such a condition as this.

Hi Odessa,

I really cant buy anymore time, things have come to a point where i am forced to look at "now" and i have to find a way to exit this relationship without him running with my kids.... which has been his ultimate plan for years.
This is very scarey.. and i dont know what moves to expect next..
Often doctors fail to diagnose ppl with this illness, as they are so cunning and charming.. and they are experts at lying.
I have enough reason to believe that he does suffer from this condition.. and he may borderline other disorders as well.. he is also an alcoholic.
The behaviour of a sociopath is so close to normal it is extremely hard for a professional to diagnose... thus there is a VERY low recovery rate.
having lived with this person for 4 years and also having a father who is a sociopath/psychopath... i can find too many similarities!
it is all to much to be at this point right now, and know that the 2 men that were supposed to be the most important in my life... used me as simply a victim

Hi Jem,

I am so sorry, I misread your OP. I thought you had written ds instead of dp!

*slaps self in forehead*

Do you have any family you can turn to? Any way you can get out safely?

family are trying to support me as much as possible...
as for getting out safely.... how does one do that when faced with someone like this?????

Not having been in a situation like this before, I can't begin to imagine how scared you are. Could you possibly arrange to visit relatives with the kids and then not go back? Do you think the situation could be helped by police involvement or an AVO?

Hey Jem,

Psychiatry labels 'Sociopathy' as Antisocial Personality Disorder these days. It is actually pretty easy for an experienced clinician to diagnose -I've treated antisocials in the past. Have a look at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder

If you are afraid for your safety, or that of your children, you really need to involve the police, and probably the local mental health services too - they will be attached to your local public hospital. If you ring and ask to speak to Psychitric Services, they should put you through. Ask to speak to the intake worker. Describe symptomotology, etc, and they'll be able to do an assessment, and either treat, or refer you husband to a specialist who can help.

If you want some more information, you can PM me if you'd like.

Good luck, and stay safe.:hugs:
