How does someone escape a sociopath?

Answer 1

Answer

I am sorry that you are in this situation. Escaping a sociopath can be both a scary and a dangerous action. Please proceed with caution. Do not react on impulse (ie. suddenly, when you are enraged), as this will carry more risks. If you are living with the sociopath then you need to make plans about where you are going to go, your income, etc. A sociopath can become unexpectedly aggressive when he feels that his power over you has become compromised. For this reason, make sure that you are with somebody that you trust. They will be much less likely to attack you is you do not stay alone, and that friend may be able to call for help if he does arrive with malicious intent.

When you are safe, find some way to tell him to stay away from you, and hold true to your word. Then, make sure that you are around people at all times, and if he has been aggressive in the past; you may want to inform the police of the situation. They may be able to provide you with some options.

Answer 2

Contact a victim/witness program in your area. These aids aren't just for domestic violence or witnesses being harrassed. If you have no means of finding these, then call the local police department and they will set you up with a counselor. If the situation isn't that bad, go to a social worker. But if you are asking the question that bluntly, I'd assume you need real help. There is help if you just ask, but you have to involve the authorities first and they will lead you to a more private path. Even if you don't go to church, there are churches that will help. There are so many avenues that women have to get away but no one discusses them. You will talk to the right person after the police dept. refers you to a counselor or after you contact a church.
