My next question is this… why are you trying to put these pieces to the puzzle together with your family? Sociopaths don’t tell the truth about anything unless it will somehow help them. With the exception of those who may be sociopaths as well, the spouses of your evil relatives are abused. They are either afraid, bitter, or resigned to prevent the boat from rocking.

There couldn’t ever be a group devoted to ousting them… remember, we cannot think like they can. Sociopaths are the absolute worst people in therapy – narcissists and borderlines are bad too, but borderlines sometimes do respond to treatment. I think many borderlines are actually sociopaths though- I think it has been used as the politically correct female version of evil. I think for some, it is too difficult to diagnose women as such.

Although not in a clinical setting, my physician told me about 9 years ago that my sister was a sociopath. I should have listened to him.

There is no way to expose people like this because they’ve already done damage control on all of the people who could possibly expose them. You will look bad in the end. It is better to cut them from your life entirely. They aren’t family, they are evil. Until you realize that, you will have more pain. It doesn’t matter what you ask them to explain, they have no interest in veracity. I realized I had to stop asking why. There is no why.

Unfortunately it is indeed only the victims who believe a story like this. The sad thing is that there are so many victims who are abused constantly by these people yet they don’t see it either. It takes YEARS of no contact. Have you ever looked at the “no contact” pledge? It was probably the hardest thing I ever did, but definitely the best decision.

I think not, since I believe many know they are different, but couldn’t care less to know why.

Their danger is unbelievably heinous, and because of their ability to charm their way through life, virtually the only believers are those who have been victimized. I think there are many more sociopaths than the 2-4% that seems to be often sited … sited from what?

There is no hard data. If my family was used as the basis, sociopaths would be 86-91% population.

Do you really feel the only option is escape? Sociopaths are clearly very dangerous people, perhaps it would be possible to create an organization dedicated to ousting them? Or at least aiding the recovery of victims…
