The principles of a man devoid of empathy, conscience and morals are very simple. I’ll take whatever I want, no matter what the harm to others.

This blog is written for female survivors of male perpetrators.

Good & Right

Basically, if it’s good for me it’s good, no matter what the harm to others.

 

  • If lying makes me look good , then it’s good.

  • If cheating and adultery make me feel good, there’s nothing wrong with it.

  • If stealing relieves my financial problems, I’m entitled to do so.

  • If malicious slander shifts the blame away from me, it’s excusable.

 

Justification

“She's a crazy, lying bitch. It was just self-defence your Honour.”

 

Abusive & Wrong (in Others)

What won’t be tolerated? What crimes will the psychopath punish you for?

 

  • Expressing an opinion that differs from his.

  • Having needs that require any adjustment of behaviour from him.

  • Expecting anything from him.

  • Having a schedule that doesn’t fit in with his.

  • Using the wrong tone of voice.

  • Having the wrong facial expression.

  • Interrupting him when he’s speaking.

  • Looking at him or another man the wrong way.

  • Raising your voice or ‘answering back’.

  • Having anger, from mild irritation to aggression.

  • Having other feelings, such as sadness, loneliness or anxiety.

  • Becoming upset when he wrongs you.

  • Crying.

  • Wearing the wrong clothes.

  • Variations in weight or appearance due to hormonal change (pregnancy, menopause).

  • Drinking or eating more or less than him.

  • Not drinking or eating when he wants you to.

  • Offering him food or drink when he’s not hungry or in the mood to drink.

  • Physical illness, from a cold to a cancer.

  • Holding him to account.

 

 

All of the above are seen as wilful and deliberate abusive behaviours aimed at making him suffer and will be punished one way or another: inevitably by the slow drip-drip of devaluation, then by the sudden shock of being discarded like a worthless ‘thing’ (sudden abandonment), and possibly malicious destruction of your home, relationships, career and reputation.

 

The psychopath, if offered forgiveness kindness and compassion (if allowed contact), will return time and again to his former victims to extract more 'narcissistic supply', using further deception gaslighting and blame to justify his past behaviour. If he can, he will use children in particular, as tools for continued manipulation exploitation and control. He is devoid of conscience.
