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 got entangled with one. His abuse was subtle and hard to pinpoint. I walked around in a fog. 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. [more]

Bipolare Störungen, Depression, Sucht, Essstörungen, Selbstverletzung, ADHS, Vaterkomplexe und Schizophrenie. Von diesen Dingen ist der Alltag von sechs Mädchen, die gemeinsam in einer WG in Kalifornien leben, geprägt, nachdem das Leben von ihnen in der Vergangenheit eine unvorhersehbare Wendung genommen hat. Doch als wäre das nicht schon genug, wirft ein schreckliches Ereignis jede von ihnen aus der Bahn und zeigt den Mädchen wie kostbar das Leben ist. Werden sie ihre Probleme überwinden und ihr Leben wieder in die richtigen Bahnen lenken oder holt ihre Vergangenheit sie vorher doch noch ein? Alle Rechte an dieser Geschichte, abgesehen von den Medien, gehören mir. Diese Geschichte zu stehlen, ist Diebstahl geistigen Eigentums. [more]
