On this episode I am joined by Donna Andersen. Donna launched Lovefraud.com in 2005 after her disastrous marriage to a sociopath. She has written all of the permanent content on Lovefraud and more than 1,100 blog posts. She has also written multiple books, created videos, conducted multiple online surveys and has presented research to the Society for the Scientific Study of Psychopathy. Donna also founded Lovefraud Continuing Education, which offers online courses for survivors and mental health professionals on identifying, escaping and recovering from sociopaths.
She shares her personal experience about her husband defrauded her as well as many others out of a million dollars. She has been featured on some Investigation Discovery TV episodes. She also shares red flags to be aware of if you are dating someone who might be a sociopath as well as how to recover from these type of toxic relationships.
We discuss her newest book: Senior Sociopaths – How to recognize and escape lifelong abusers. It reveals that most sociopaths never stop their manipulative and deceptive behavior. The common wisdom in the mental health field is that sociopaths “burn out” in their 40s and engage in less antisocial behavior. Several psychiatry textbooks directly state this. According to Donna’s research, it’s not true. Senior Sociopaths is based on surveys of 2,377 Lovefraud readers who described their experiences with sociopaths who were age 50 or older. The bottom line is that of the respondents who knew the sociopaths both before and after age 50, 91% said their behavior was just as bad or worse as they got older.
