Entangled with a Sociopath by Florence St. John is a non-fiction book that explores the psychology of a sociopath and one woman’s journey through abuse and manipulation in an unhealthy relationship. Florence has given her heart, her money, and her life to Daniel, the man who swept her off her feet and convinced her to float away with him and leave their problems behind. Everyone had warned her about investing $10,000 in a boat, but Daniel had sweet-talked her into buying into the idea. What looked like a beautiful dream soon becomes a terrible nightmare. Florence no longer has control of her life. The high school friend who contacted her, the man whose charm won over her heart, is actually a sociopath.
Some people hear the word sociopath, they imagine a psychopathic killer, but sociopaths do not kill the body. They are killers of the heart. Driven by narcissism, they lack a sense of moral responsibility and have no conscience. The definition doesn’t come close to what lurks beneath the surface. I know because I was entangled with one. His abuse was subtle and hard to pinpoint. I gave Daniel the benefit of the doubt. Doubt! Remember that word. It drove me to the edge of insanity by the time the relationship was done. Not everyone will understand how he could deceive and manipulate me for so long. Daniel was clever and a master at manipulation, able to twist the truth until I accepted his fabricated reality. I didn’t recognize his cunning, devious nature. It’s still hard to believe that the person I loved never really existed. He was a ghost, a man without a soul.
