I remember sleep.

My sleep has been massively disrupted lately, which throws everything off. Stumbling through this week. I need to get my brain to stop dreaming of him, because all of those dreams are Very Bad

Oh, man, I remember that feeling of making sure the spotlight was on him (that is, my Evil Ex).

I also remember my experience, about a month after I left him, of reading a version of the psychopathy checklist (very similar to this one) and just... dropping the book. And staring at the wall for a really long time. Because he matched every point. It's one of the few times in my life I can say that I was really, honestly stunned beyond words or thought.

Putting the patterns together helps a lot. And hurts like hell sometimes.

Yeah. I am not a doctor? But Judah matches every point there too.

I'm not a doc either, but some things are... just kind of obvious.

Yikes. I just looked at the list with a particular ex of mine (who was also a cheater) in mind, too. She fit nearly all of the criteria.

It helps sometimes with the, "Was I just imagining X?" problem, because someone else has noticed and recorded similar patterns.
