Vindictive, Abusive and violent people

I was reading a book called The Sociopath Next Door. It made me understand why there are some people that do some things that they do with no remorse. It's because they lack empathy and they have no feelings. I have had experience with this people. There was one notable person when I was in my 20s. They were manipulative, cold and not many positive vibes except when it came to sex. There was always something in me that said to leave her alone but I made excuses. I always said, well, I need to stop being so picky and improve myself. She use to always tell me that it was me. She would call back to back at my job, leave messages on my personal and work phone cursing me out and trying to make me talk to her during times I was breaking it off. She would show up at my apartment unannounced, tried to run me over with her car and even damaged my vehicle. This girl did grow up in the hood but was in medical school and had a child. Therefore, the sociopath comes from different environments. I decided to really break it off and even got a restraining order. She than went and took one out one on me. She than showed up weeks later and found me going out on a date.  She proceeded to yell and tell me to give her back the birthday and Christmas gifts I gave her. My date called the police. She had left before they arrived. On the Monday after the weekend the police called me. The crazy chick had told the police that I had beat her with a weight. No broken bones would have clicked with me but not the great macomb police department. They pretty much tried to railroad me in court. They made her come to court as she would not show up. She told them in court that I did not do anything. They did not care. Thank God it turned out positive in the long run. Why am I writing this?

I received a question from a friend who asked what they should do in a violent situation.  Also because I wish for those who see signs of a woman or man with issues to RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. It is not worth guessing. They will attempt to destroy your life and/or take away your self esteem. Do not try to figure them out. If an inner voice says that the situation is not right than LISTEN. It is not worth being with a person and finding out after it is too late that you should have. Mental and physical violence happens mostly to women but it also occurs with men as well. Manipulative, non emotional and non caring people come in all shades, colors and cultures. Do yourself a favor when you see the signs.....LEAVE AND DON'T LOOK BACK. Do not make excuses for these types of people. Especially in instances of violence. Signs are manipulating, telling you that you coukd not find anyone else, keeping you away from your family, ANY kind of violence. If they hit you once they will hit you again. If they call you condescending names than that is also a sign.  I truly hope this helps someone. After all, it is your life.
