Sorry, off topic but I have first hand knowledge of living with a sociopath, ashamed to say I married him. The best gift he ever gave me was having an affair, I filed for divorce the day after I found out. It wasn't until I was out of the relationship I realised him for what he was and how controlling and coercive he was (he was never violent or aggressive, I will give him that). Everyone at the time could see it but me and afterwards a friend actually asked me if I'd had botox or 'work done' as I looked amazing; I hadn't, I'd gained back my self esteem and confidence and started smiling again. I am now married to a wonderful man that I adore, he is amazing, so I got a happy ending. Apologies but this really resonated with me. So yes I can see it in her.
