We hear yesterday (26.08.14) the full extent of the heartbreaking story of children in Rotherham. A paedophile ring so vile and widespread in a relatively small areas that over 1400 children children (at current numbers) were subjected to horrific and longstanding sexual, emotional and physical abuse.  Although it would be more than right to concentrate on the effect upon these children, their families, friends etc … instead the failings on many levels of the child protective services is something that needs some urgent discussion over and above the condemnation of the failure to protect so many children.  

Rotherham has a population of roughly 250,000 and children between the ages of 10-17 account for about 25,000 of that population.  If the figures are correct, and I’m no statistician, the 1400 children would account for about 5% of the total population of children in the age range indicated in the report.  If the majority…

Believe it or not, as I was driving to work yesterday the topic of discussion was about the upcoming school year. In the Middle East we follow the American and British school terms so our school year starts in the September and over the next two week the majority of school will be opening their doors and before you know it (17 Fridays) it will be Christmas.. but that is a completely different topic of discussion all together. Schooling in Dubai is and always will be a contentious topic, mainly because it is generally a bun fight to get your kids registered (thankfully according to http://whichschooladvisor.com/ there are going to be nearly 8 new schools in Dubai alone opening this year) and then comes the fees…. if one had to do a comparison of Dubai school with South African school, school fees in Dubai exceed per year what some families yearly income are. Its…

THE Prime Minister had to endure a second interruption to his holiday on Sunday when a protester camped outside his holiday home and demanded the reform of family courts.

Bobby Smith, from London, used a loud-hailer to summon David Cameron from the house near Daymer Bay. Mr Smith, who is supported by the campaign group New Fathers 4 Justice and backed by fellow protester Carol Wheeler, said Mr Cameron did briefly step outside and talk to him: “He said I was spoiling his holiday, and then he stormed off back inside – but we’re going to stay here for as long as it takes.”

Mr Smith said police had sent a riot van, with 10 officers, to make sure they did not get too close to the Prime Minister. “On Monday they threatened to tow my car away,” he said, “and they’ve been threatening me with all kinds of things…

There is nothing more self satisfying to a Sociopath than having The Last Word. Nothing screams ‘win’ more to them as long as they know you heard more delusions out of their mouths, and took the bait hook they sent your way.

It’s so easy to want to retaliate, even defend their word, deny their untrue allegations and so on. A Sociopath will throw verbal tantrums, use emotional manipulation, and use their self-centeredness in the guise of victim!! As we know, the Narcissist Sociopath is always the victim {insert sarcasm} 🙂  As long as you bite their hook baited with The Last Word, they will never,ever, ever stop. Ever! I have written about no contact  and realize there are times you truly do need contact with the Sociopath. even in the worst of situations. With that no contact, boundaries have to be in place for it to work.

How many…
