'Learn the rules and break them' was written on his T-shirt when we played tennis together for the first time. Should I have noticed it?
Much, much earlier?
Yes, I should have.
But by then, it was already far too late.
Psychopaths weave a sticky web of lies, slander, and intrigue. Once you're caught in it, it's almost impossible to escape.
You flail around, but it's completely futile.
4% of the general population are psychopaths. Not all of them become murderers.
I wish for close cooperation between courts and psychiatrists. I wish there were free points of contact for those affected within courts, public prosecutors, and the police.
Clever psychopaths - and that's most of them - often go unnoticed for a long time.
For far too long.
If you come across one, turn around and run as fast as you can. That's the only way. Believe me. I know what I'm talking about.
