When it comes to con artists, particularly sociopaths and psychopaths, there are certain truths we can rely on. These individuals are skilled at exploiting loopholes in the legal system. We’ve received numerous accounts from men detailing the extreme lengths to which manipulative women will go to extort money.
In many states, custody of children is often awarded to mothers during separation or divorce. This means that those who secure custody also secure financial benefits. For a female psychopath, becoming a “professional mother” is a calculated strategy. By having children, they create a resource that can be leveraged for personal gain. In fact, for them, kids are assets in their next scheme, not liabilities.
Mothers, even those who struggle with substance abuse or exhibit sociopathic behavior, often retain custody. Proving a mother unfit is notoriously difficult, and custody evaluators tend to accept claims from both parties without verification. This creates a perfect environment for pathological liars.
Real-Life Examples
Consider the case of John, who finds himself embroiled in a custody battle with a woman he suspects is a sociopath. Despite presenting documented evidence of emotional abuse—including lies about cancer and pregnancy—he’s frustrated by an evaluator who suggests shared custody. The evaluator seems unable to connect the dots between deceit and parenting capabilities.
Similarly, there’s the story of Mark, whose ex-wife has managed to secure sole custody of their children despite their wishes to live with him. Despite evidence that the guardian-ad-litem (GAL) only sided with the mother based on her claims, the judge awarded custody to her, disregarding the children’s voices entirely.
Key Takeaways
What can we learn from these unsettling narratives? First, female sociopaths often exploit anti-male biases within family courts. While psychopathic fathers may claim victimhood, the reality remains that manipulation is prevalent on both sides.
Men should exercise caution, particularly when it comes to intimacy. Assertions that a woman is using birth control or has been sterilized should never be taken at face value. It’s crucial to be aware of a woman’s character before engaging in a relationship.
Another takeaway is the glaring absence of studies on how psychopathy affects parenting. Most mental health professionals assume that sociopaths cannot form attachments, overlooking the fact that their connections are often power-based rather than affectionate. This oversight leads to a significant problem: psychopathic parents often stay involved in their children’s lives, creating turmoil rather than abandoning them.
Taking Action
If you’re a father feeling powerless against a sociopath and the family court system, consider filing complaints against attorneys and evaluators who fail to verify facts. False testimonies can potentially lead to perjury charges, and holding these individuals accountable may prompt necessary changes in the system. Keeping meticulous records is also vital, as children may seek recourse against the courts once they reach adulthood.
