Question: How do I help my friend see that her sociopathic husband's behavior is not her fault!?
He is a clinical 'charismatic sociopath' who is blaming the wife for his behavior!. (countless affairs, professional abuse, impulsive spending, etc!.) She doesn't want to leave him, because she loves him and feels guilty for enabling him all these years!. I believe she is co-dependent but how do I make her see that his behavior is not her fault!? Any good books!? Thanks!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tears and Healing is a good book!. (link below) If she is co-dependent, she will not leave the marriage, because she is not healthy enough to see she deserves better!. Obviously, she would have by now with his countless affairs!.
It's so sad because usually women married to these type of men are sensitive, caring, nurturing women who deep down feel that they can change their man for the better!. Sociopaths don't change, unless it's in their best interest, in which case, they'll fake it!. They can even fake having a conscience for a while if it helps their cause!. But there's nothing real about them, and those close to them usually fall into depression because sociopaths can't be rehabilitated!.
They are monsters in the shape and form of human beings, and it's really hard to swallow that when it's someone close to you or related to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
