So I haven't been blogging lately, as I have had an incredible amount going on in my life. And one of those things, was an incredibly bad, toxic and psychologically abusive relationship with a total jerk. But, jerk is really not the correct label. A jerk is a guy you've been dating for a few months who suddenly decides to break up with you through text. A jerk is a guy who asks you out, wines and dines you, sleeps with you and then you find out he's married. So, I guess this guy wasn't a jerk. This guy was either a sociopath, a narcissist, or a psychopath. Perhaps all 3. They are hard to diagnosis, even professionals can't seem to agree: And since most of them never seek therapy themselves, they are dx'd via the people that do: The psycho's victims and targets. I am now dedicating this blog-like many other women out there- to healing from this and to helping others AVOID these predator types. Through counseling, through endless hours on the net, reaching support groups, forums and blogs like this, I have learned to spot the games, the manipulations and how to help protect one's self from these horrific people. I made this video in an effort to channel my angst in some artistic way (not the first time he's driven me to this.) It will however, be the last. Welcome to the first installment of "How to Date a Psycho." Oh, and PS....the "wtf" picture in this video is actually a copy of his restraining order from an ex. Hypocrite much? This would be something psycology calls "projection." I will explain more of that with examples in further posts.
