S.O.B still playing games!

Good thing my doc has prescribed something for stress.

Working on language for Consent Agreement, again. Can't believe this, or maybe I can. It was around a year ago I recognized he's a sociopath, and that having me under his thumb these many years caused my depression. That recognition enabled me to stop taking 'depression' med. 'Thumb' hovering now.

Thanks for being here.

1. I sympathize.

Even though my divorce wasn't nearly as long and drawn-out as yours has been (and it still took a good six months longer than it should have) I was mightily frustrated by the delays. And my ex isn't a sociopath.

2. I can relate

My ex is a possible sociopath and definitely at least a narcissist! He has been dragging things on for what seems like forever. I, too, was on depression meds for YEARS and when I finally went off them, I realized it wasn't me, it was him. That is exactly why doctors shouldn't presribe anti-depressants without making you attend therapy first. Had I gone for therapy I would have realized that I was brought up by controlling, narcissistic parents and that was why I didn't see the red flags when I met my ex and the reason I put up with the emotional abuse for years was because I was USED to it and thought it was okay, even normal. Instead, I was doped up enough that I didn't really feel bad about the emotional abuse at all. My reaction to everything was 'meh'. Boy, did I ever have a time of it when I went off those awful pills. Been off them for nearly 2 years now. Never should have been on them in the first place. I wasn't depressed, I was abused.
