Sociopaths - they are hard to recognize until you are involved [View All]

At the age of 55 I got "involved" / introduced to the World of sociopaths.

I did not know it at the time.

Don't think anyone does.

Many sociopaths are above average intelligence, and know how to manipulate people.

I was a prime target.

I was close to eviction from my place in Ontario - and this American approached me with an offer to find her a place in Canada, and I would get a place to live;

Employment and benefits.

I found her a place

35 acres of pristine land with a 100 year old farmhouse, barn, shed, stream running through the property, and a freshwater spring(yet untapped) 60 feet above the level of the dwelling.

$60,000 Cdn - 4 years ago.

Long story short -

I'm now living in a trailer on the same property - no hydro, no running water - and she either poaches my friends, or scares them away.

I remember MANY times in our initial conversations, on the web, and on the phone of disconnecting with her for my perception of inconsideration -

that's a polite word

insanity would be a better one.

I should have trusted my instincts 5 years ago -

heck

I'm 59 years old

I never hung up or disconnected on ANYBODY before her

but sociopaths are masters of deception.

I remember a young girl of 14 that I was dating when I was 15 years old.

She said "Dave - you're gonna have a hard life"

"You're too gullible"

I wonder if she had idea

how right she was
