President gas

 

It’s sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we’ll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes
Just to check that you’re asleep again
President gas is president gas again

It is a difficult thing to have to watch someone you care about being relentlessly victimized by a predatory personality. That’s especially true when the predator is a full blown sociopath without a shred of human decency, mindlessly bent on making the other’s life a living hell.

What do you do when you’re forced to deal with someone who completely lacks any semblance of empathy, maturity, or even basic humanity? How do you find a way to neutralize the toxic effects of a personality that would willfully damage or reject their own kids just to get back at the adult whom they claim wronged them?

There’s certainly no discussion to be had when they refuse to compromise or cooperate to even a minimal degree. Such civilized behavior is the last thing they want. Narcissistic personalities of this type take every opportunity that presents itself to gaslight or inflict emotional harm. They feel completely justified in their behaviors because they are mentally and emotionally incapable of seeing beyond their own selfish wants and desires.

Narcissistic sociopaths are typically cowards and bullies who relish the chance to exert their petty will over others. They think nothing of insulting and badmouthing anyone they please every chance they get but fly into uncontrollable rages at the slightest hint of criticism directed at them. They literally believe they can do no wrong and are beyond the normal rules that allow a society function.

They will do all of this and then turn around and have the unmitigated gall to call you crazy. The only weapon you have against this level of mental disorder is to ignore. Narcissists cannot stand it when you refuse to engage in their moronic head games.

This gets tricky when you have the misfortune to share the parenting of your children with said narc; tricky because a full blown narcissist will actually engage in behaviors that are dangerous, even life threatening to their own (and your) children simply to get you to re-engage. They really are that insane.

This puts the long-suffering victim at a distinct disadvantage as they must do whatever it takes to protect their kids from the mindless irresponsibility of their crazy ex-partner. I have witnessed multiple such incidents over the past few years and have been forced to concede that some people are simply irredeemably despicable.

The problem here is that narcs are like machines, driven almost entirely by their pathology. It’s not so much that they have a personality disorder as a personality deficit. All the things that make us a person are missing. It’s like invasion of the body snatchers in there.

As I said at the beginning it is a very difficult thing to watch from a distance. This particular narc goes quiet whenever I’m actually on the same continent as him. We will just have to see how things go when I’m permanently relocated.
