Victims of Psychopaths Community Group
Is he or she a sociopath or psychopath? Think we're only talking about serial killers here? Psychopaths, sociopaths and even narcissists come in every walk of life, every career level, and every socio-economic category.
I'm not a religious person so severing those ties for me wasn't difficult and was actually one of the best decisions I could have made. It brought me a lot of inner peace.
I also moved several states away from my family, who is still drowning in the chaos they create. I don't miss it. Not even a little. I feel sad for them in knowing they'll never get any better and all they'll experience is anger before they die but I want my own children to be happy and not perpetuate the "crazy-making" cycle.
If it helps, in the animal kingdom, some orphaned mammals and birds often find a new family ... sometimes even outside of their species.
Every person / life / situation is different based on your experiences and beliefs.
