Some narcissistic personality disorders blur over the boundaries into sociopathic thinking and behaviors. Although they have the classic narcissistic character traits: extreme self entitlement, ruthlessness, reflexive chronic lying, exploitation, ultimate control, there is much less of a need to maintain an impeccable outer image. In fact, these individuals are both shameful and shameless. Their focus is to exercise ultimate control over others, incluidng their spouses and children. Sociopathic narcissists wreak tremendous havoc on their victims. They cause severe psychological and emotional ditress as a result of their relentless cruelties and outrageous demands. They cause such extreme stress that the non-narcissistic partner becomes physically ill as a result in some cases.  Victims of sociopathic narcissists make different decisions about their lives. Many spouses remain with their narcissistic partners. Other spouses of sociopathic narcissists wake up, recognize the psychological danger they and their children aer in as a result of these sadistic/masochistic unions and decide to seek a divorce. I have heard from some spouses that the divorce was very challenging but the attainment of their freedom and that of theri children was well worth the effort. Recognize that no one can destroy you. You and your children deserve protection, the pursuit of using all of your unique potential and the promise of deep inner peace. Visit my website: www.thenarcissistinyourlife.com
