how i was conned by a psychopath

He used insults about my looks, saying the same thing each week. It was like groundhog day.

I started to say no to this and withdraw, but he chased me up constantly, with lovely flowers and apologies for what he had said. Then he seemed to pound me with even more insults.

I was a crying wreck and worn down. I felt body pain like I had been hit. I felt sick all the time with nausea which never ended. He often threatened to beat me up and said that some one will be dead in my garage.

I took a final leap and said no more. Then I realized he was hooked into my phone account. I was paying for his calls! I notified the phone company to get him off, which has just rebooted.

It's now December, I feel cut off from any one.

Since August of this year I have had some one coming in my home and leaving black boot marks all over my living room floor, putting crabs in my bed, etc. etc. The list just goes on. He has gadgets to turn my heater on and off which has put an error in it.

I realized he had listening devices in my home. He has followed me to my work where he befriended the teenagers I work with. He wanted them to steal his ex-wife's car to get even with her, to bring her down like me, for leaving him.

How can you stay with a nasty demeaning person?

Like Robert Hare says about the eyes, he has really big black eyes which are frightening. And a very bullying way... I feel for the comical, hard working man but he is a thief and a compulsive lier.

I used to go to AA in Australia Melbourne but I came to see a lot of nastiness in which AA is not meant to be like. I notice a lot of degrading words towards people who are vulnerable with depression. And three women there committed suicide. I believe they where harassed just like I was, provoked to the end.

This is for Sara who was mutilated by a psychopath in Nov 2012. She befriended the wrong man who harassed her on facebook and was set up at the end by some other men who helped him to murder her.
