Just be glad that you can use PAST TENSE (dealt) when discussing that. I've dealt with more than one, and sometimes still have to deal with one.

Hope your sociopath remains in the PAST!!!

Cheers.

Thank you for the reminder. It is a blessing that all that is in the past although the sociopath keeps trying to find a way to get to me again. I hope that you keep minimal contact in case you have to deal with one. Cheers =)
