Living in a relationship with someone who is a NARCISSIST SOCIOPATH OR PSYCHOPATH can be extremely difficult and conflict-laden. The relationship can take a toll on all those involved, and unfortunately things can drastically escalate during a divorce. IT'S TIME TO BRING IN THE EXPERT...

I also recommend that if a person is Divorcing a Narcissist, Sociopath and or psychopath, they work with a Psycho-therapist and not a behaviorist- therapist, and that the psychotherapist have a strong knowledge base in NPD, Sociopaths or Psychopaths.

WHY AM I MAKING THIS ABOUT YOU...?
Have you ever ask yourself…this question.
“Why did I attract this person into my life?
I know your time is valuable, so I’ll get straight to the point:
The answer is surprisingly simple…and has everything to do with YOU and your SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.
(More on the subconscious by clicking the link below…)
Your subconscious mind has what are called “unconscious polarized issues” that are “Anchor beliefs” coming from your childhood.
MANY THERAPIST LABEL THESE "THE SYMPTOMS OF CODEPENDENCY".
...And strangely enough...BY resolving these SUBCONSCIOUS programs…it is exactly what is needed to ‘heal’ yourself, (possibly your partner) and overcome your current relationship issues…
Understand this and you are on the road to Personal Freedom...
WHY?
Because if you change yourself you free yourself.
SEE IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU…
The terms 'codependent', 'enabler', 'follower', 'covert narcissist' 'inverted narcissist' and co-narcissist are used interchangeably in respect of people who are...
Emotionally dependent on narcissists, sociopaths or psychopaths.
Narcissists sociopaths and psychopaths surround themselves with codependents, as they tend to work beyond healthy (and sometimes ethical) limits to do whatever the NARCISSIST, SOCIOPATH OR PSYCHOPATH needs.
Narcissists Sociopaths and psychopaths Crave Power and Codependents Crave Security, so they are drawn to one another.
Codependency is a condition that affects a large percentage of the adult population. Individual characteristics vary in degree from individual to individual.
Codependent patterns of behavior include, among others:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Avoiding decision-making and confrontation
External referencing (always checking outside oneself before making choices)
Subordinating one's needs to those of the person...
with whom one is involved [the narcissist]
Perfectionism
Over-controlling
Manipulation
Lack of trust
Lying
Often, the same person displays both narcissistic and codependency (co-narcissistic) behaviors, depending on circumstances.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Both narcissists and codependents tend to assume that in any interpersonal interaction one person is narcissistic and the other codependent, and often can play either part.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many Psychotherapists now call Codependency: “A Relationship Addiction”.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DID YOU KNOW...Codependency can also manifest as Love Addiction, Avoidant or Dependent Personality Disorder or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
There is a CURE.
You may not-yet-have-experienced…
…YOUR POWER TO CHANGE!
I’ll explain the Empowering Counselling Method that worked for me—with a proven success rate.

NOTES: The Defining characteristic of the narcissist is grandiosity. The narcissist is more likely to be attention seeking, envious and to desire admiration.
The defining characteristic of the sociopath/psychopath is callousness. The sociopath/psychopath is more likely to engage in illegal activity, to be aggressive, impulsive and deceitful.
All sociopaths are narcissistic but plain narcissists are not also sociopaths
A psychopath is more likely to use violence rather then the narcissist.
Narcissist is not as "bad" as the psychopath.
Disorganized Episodic Aggression: (psychopath-born)
Organized Sociopathic Hatred: (sociopath-made)
Ritualistic behavior Superficial charm and "good" intelligence Attempts to conceal mental instability Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational behavior Compulsivity Absence of "nervousness" or psychoneurotic manifestations Periodic search for help unreliability Severe memory disorders and an inability to tell the truth untruthfulness and insincerity Suicidal tendencies lack of remorse or shame History of committing assault inadequately motivated antisocial behavior Hyper sexuality and abnormal sexual behavior poor judgment and failure to learn by experience Head injuries; injuries suffered at birth pathological egocentricity and incapacity for love History of chronic drug or alcohol abuse general poverty in major affective reactionsParents with history of chronic drug or alcohol abuse specific loss of insight Victim of childhood physical or mental abuse unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations Result of an unwanted pregnancy fantastic and uninviting behavior with and sometimes without drink Product of a difficult gestation for mother suicide rarely carried out Unhappiness in childhood resulted in inability to find happiness sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated Extraordinary cruelty to animals failure to follow any life plan Attraction to arson without homicidal interest Symptoms of neurological impairment Evidence of genetic disorder Biochemical symptoms Feelings of powerlessness and inadequacy.
Antisocial Personality, Sociopathy, and Psychopathy
Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD) is practically synonymous with criminal behavior. It's so synonymous, in fact, that practically all convicted criminals (65-75%) have it, with criminologists often referring to it as a "wastebasket" category. Psychologists consider it an adult version of juvenile conduct disorder. The main characteristic of it is a complete and utter disregard for the rights of others and the rules of society. They seldom show anxiety and don't feel guilt. There's really no effective treatment for them other than locking them up in a secure facility with such rigid rules that they cannot talk their way out. A full list of APD traits would include:
Sense of entitlement; Unremorseful; Apathetic to others; Unconscionable behavior; Blameful of others; Manipulative and conning; Affectively cold; Disparate understanding; Socially irresponsible; Disregardful of obligations; Nonconforming to norms; Irresponsible
