it's under the ophelia thread in asteroids, i think.

she was raped by tereus, husband of her sister who then cut out her tongue so she could't tell anyone. she wove a tapestry in order to tell her sister who came, or the mother and they killed tereus' son, serving him for dinner without telling tereus until after. when he tried to catch them someone turned philomela into a nightingale.

in all my sedna thematic experiences every one has had an element, imposed or self-imposed to a degree where i felt i couldn't talk about it.

Bea asked me this question. It is a good one. I will try to talk from my experience, rather than list the usual list that goes in these kind of articles.

1. You feel like you have found your soul mate. This man appears to be the man of your dreams. You are walking on air. You never have been so happy.

2. You feel as if he knows you better than anyone in your life. You feel like he knows you deep inside.

3. You feel more understood than you ever have in your life.

4. You feel you found Mr Right times a million

5. He starts doing little things to take away your dignity. These start small.

6. When you call him on it, he acts as if he did not do anything and you are imagining it.

7. You think you ARE imagining it. This is the first step in Gaslighting which is a taking away of the reality of the other person.

8. He may go back to the charming lover you knew initially. You will feel like it will be alright.

9. He will escalate the Gaslighting behaviors.

10. You will probably blame yourself.

11. He will start to undermine you more. He will use your weaknesses to get you to doubt yourself and to lower your self esteem.

12. The above may go on for a short or long period but the person’s self esteem will suffer a great deal.

13. He may start to cheat and blame you.

14. You may start to think that he cheated because you were inferior in looks, weight etc

15. He will continue on escalating abusive behavior until you leave. The time frame on this varies from days to years to a lifetime.

Pretty standard list, frankly. Most of what can be found, in many ways, verbatim in the following titles:

'Psychopath Free' by Peace
(Great for those newly 'hit' and looking to heal)

'Puzzling People: The Labyrinth of the Psychopath' by Thomas Sheridan

'The Psychopath Exposed: Understanding and Dealing With An Emotional Predator' by Jonas Warstad

All are extremely useful, depending upon your stage of research. Some speak easily and gently to the victim, and many (which aren't listed) are more appropriate for the researcher.

'The Betrayal Bond' by Patrick J Carnes, while not focussing upon psychopathy, is an excellent resource for dealing with any sort of exploitative, abusive relationship.

I also urge anyone who's delving into psychopathy to be sure to branch into the newest research set forth by Dr James Fallon. 'The Psychopath Inside' is wonderful. So is most of the academic work being done by Robert Schug.

Also, 'sociopath' is an outdated 'slang' term which never saw clinical usage and is slowly being phased out.

The psychopathic spectrum doesn't even guarantee such horrors as those in the above post. Rather, like anything, it's up to free will, upbringing, and other environmental factors.

Well, you could be a bit less offensive. Say, calling emotional predators 'psychopaths' when it's obvious you're little informed on the subject. That's not a criticism, merely an observation. Keep absorbing before you go informing. There's a cycle - a process - there. My best advice is to not put the cart before the horse.

If you wish to inform about emotional predation (and it's a good and noble goal to do so!) please take the necessary time to learn first. Spreading misinformation is just as bad as refraining from spreading good information. You've got some good resources right there; I'll gladly give you a few more, though they're scholarly.

I have a certain of being very direct because I respect that in others. I like to call things in a simple way, not an esoteric way, if the subject can be simplified.

I value that trait in others such as a Judge Judy, as an example of a direct speaking person.

I am a diplomatic person with a Libra ASC but I am direct in my approach.

I am not the right Astrologer for everyone, nor someone that everyone likes.

So, if someone does not like my approach, they can skip over my posts.

I like my approach and am not going to change it because it is not to some people's liking.

We call the above 'emotional predators'......

Yet, there was a primal beauty. There were unwritten rules that one had to follow to be respected on there and one could do it.

They tell it like it is. There are NO rules. There was not the usual social garbage that people follow. It was all pretty raw. I guess you could say that it was very Pluto like.

They talked about Fallon a lot. There was a clip of him and his work.

No empathy is a very different situation that we can imagine, if we have empathy.

They are different kinds of creatures among us, in a way, but God can heal them as He can heal anyone.

No one is hopeless imo

I really don't have ego that I have to say the best thing or the right thing.

I see one of my gifts as that of getting discussions going.

I like to do that. There is no way I could know all the answers to what I write about or even most of them.

I put most things out there and eagerly await comments.

Comments are like little gifts to me. I get excited to open them, so please anyone add to this.

We don't have to see eye to eye on all things. It is cool if we don't!

What I say is my personal opinion and experience. It is not absolute. Others may differ and do. However, one is allowed to have one's own opinion and it is from that vantage point that I speak.

I do have a masters degree in counseling, as well, but that does not make me the end all and be all, either, but does offer me something.

However, many people with many higher degrees than I have differ.
