Ok, I can't seem to find an earlier post I wrote about corporate Ps so I guess I'll stick this one here.

In my opinion, we have just witnessed one get clean away with a multimillion dollar fraud. What a complete travesty of justice that someone with scads of evidence against him would be acquitted. I believe the way he manipulated the jury (along with his track record of domination, control and financial wrongdoing) is textbook P behaviour. It's like they have this uncanny ability to suss people out and hone in on factors they can exploit. In typical P fashion, he is now lashing out at the existing management and board of his former company by accusing them of wrongdoing. I remember seeing him interviewed and everything about what he said and his behaviour screamed P to me. Just cannot believe he got away with it whereas his underlings were sentenced. Scary! The other thing that sickens me about it is I think an acquittal like that just encourages other corporate Ps.

Had to vent.

Hey there Sylvie,

I believe your post was under "Psychopaths in Groups" which I originally began, but it did not get the response or interest and I suggested to Dianne that it be removed. Perhaps Dianne will be able to retrieve it for you.

Hope all is well with you.

Hi MCN,

Good to hear from you. Thanks for letting me know that. I had done a couple of key word searches and couldn't figure out why it didn't get pulled up - was puzzled about that one! lol While I seem to be one of the only posters writing about corporate Ps, there may be others lurking who have experienced that kind of thing (or will down the road) so it may be useful to have it there.

I saw that you mentioned being involved in a lawsuit. Good luck with that - those situations are usually stressful so I'm glad you have a lot of support to see you through it.

Best regards,
Sylvie

Thanks MCN!, I'll look for it later, have been out a lot the last couple of days.

Sylvie, I think we should start a Corporate Psychopath thread because it is a new and challenging area that is finally getting exposure. I'll start the thread later and put your post there.

Di

Hi Diane,

I agree it would be helpful to have a separate thread for corporate Ps - thanks for that. There must be many people who have encountered that kind of thing but maybe don't realize that they were dealing with Ps.

Regards,
Sylvie

WOW MCN,

So many parallels in our situation. My P never listened to music, only talk radio. It gave him a false arrogance that he was the know all end all on subjects discussed. He would not ever consider dancing, and adeptly dodged any question I asked regarding his feelings about any given situation. It was like his mind was racing to try to conjure up what a real person would say. He is so pathetic, and empty shell, with no sense of identity, coveting the warm, loving, caring qualities he seeks in his victims, as if by possessing a terrific partner would by osmosis make him a real individual. The more I read and see other posts, I want to hit myself in the head with a brick for not researching sooner and accepting that this parasite had nothing to offer me or anyone.

He once even told me he preferred computer games, talk radio and movies to personal interaction. Yet would mimic my own affection to keep me on the hook as long as possible. And initially put on quite a performance to quell my early doubts as to his sincerity.

Another observation, he has absolutely no friends. He has work aquiantences, but absolutely no one to share & interact with in a normal basis. And while my intention when I did start researching was solely to help him.... I realized I was sucked in deep to a demonic quicksand. The more I stood up for myself, the worse the abuse got. P's absolutely cannot handle having a miror held up to their actions and behaviors, and relentlessly blame any and every thing for circumstances.

Another quality was his secretiveness. I am a very open, honestperon and really do not have anything to hide from anyone when I am in a relationship. He has multiple identies, unlisted number, many internet identities and constantly was on the look out for his next victim. It is so pathetic... I cannot imagine the only avenue to self worth being the ability to "conquer" an innocent, unsuspecting woman.

I know in the last heated exchange we had, I asked him exactly how it made him feel better to abuse & betray any & every woman in his life. The question was met with a click of the phone being hung up, his reaction to any questions like that.

I really do hope that all of us sharing our experiences helps to professionally define and maybe help these parasites. I would be a pity to learn all of our pain & suffering has been for nothing!

Hi Stunned,

I want to answer you more thoroughly, but cannot at this time due to other demands on my time. I have "quickly" scanned posts here just to keep up. I have read your other posts as well.

Briefly, I will say to you keep up your courage. Things will get better. But you must stay away from this person. Resist the urge to even call him just to blast him. It only makes you "feel good" for a short time and does nothing to allow healing. Think of it as allowing negative energy in. You need positive energy now. P's are nothing but negative energy. You have much more to deal with, your health and getting your life back in order. You are not the first to have her life devastated by a P and unfortunately you will not be the last. Seems that you have had to pay a very high price for your "lesson". But with the knowledge you have earned, you will be able to protect yourself in the future. Keep your focus on "healing" and turn this negative into a positive.

With kindness,
MCN

Hi Jan and Everyone,

Been tied up with many "headaches" which will be continuing for awhile longer.

Congratulations, Jan, on your moderator status.


"I think we all have that ability to spot these people but we don’t always act on our instincts because we try to rationalise their behaviour. It’s only when we get involved on a more personal level and we become their targets do we listen to our instincts. By that time damage has already been done."

I think you nailed this one. But, as they say, experience is the best teacher. Once one understands what a P is all about, we learn to pay more attention to "our instincts" and are more "wary" of those with the characteristics. Those P "innocuations" are quite expensive, indeed! They're like taxes, you pay for them for forever!!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer.

Hi MCN

So good to hear from you. And I thought it was the wrestling that was taking up your time!

I wish you well with your legal battle, I thought I would know by now whaich way mine is going but I still haven't heard from the "opposition". It HAS to be any day now. The stress of hanging around waiting for news is causing me to lose sleep that I desperatley need. I've been ill again and I'm sure it's because my immune system is affected by all this and the FP. Speaking of which....he finishes school a week today and that is playing on my mind.

I'm still hoping my partner will send him to his mother, he said he would so keep everything crossed.

Thanks for the congratualtions, I have been working on information for Dr Essi Viding which I have been sharing with Di. She wants to know all about my experiences for her research-isn't that great? All this grief might be utilised in a positive way.

I will keep you updated when she gets back to me next week, it will take her that long to digest all the stuff I've sent her and there is more to come.

I look forward to hearing good news from you.

Regards
Jan

Hi MCN,

Nice to hear from you. Those legal situations seem to drag out for a while which probably works out for the laywers but is draining for everyone else. Wish you the best with it. Hope you are still managing to get some enjoyment out of the summer.

Best regards
Sylvie
