Given that psychopaths are characterized by superficial charm, profound dishonesty, callousness, guiltlessness and poor impulse control, preventing psychopaths from gaining power and changing the system that incentivizes them needs to be one of our biggest priorities for the future if we are to survive as a species and want to have a sustainable, livable society.
How Common are Psychopaths
According to some estimates, we find psychopathy in about one percent of the general population, and for reasons that are poorly understood, most psychopaths are male. However, psychopathy is not black and white, but it is assessed on a spectrum. Research suggests that about 3.3% of people have near psychopathic tendencies and According to PsychopathyIs, an organization that studies psychopathy, as much as 30% of the population displays some degree of reduced empathy, risk-taking, and overly high self-regard, though the percentage of people with high degrees of these traits is much smaller.

THE INVISIBLE
By Kathie Mathis, Psy.D

I believe victims are unseen—
not because they don’t exist,
but because they have been made invisible.

I was one of them.
But not anymore.

Survivors of abuse and crime move through this world
unseen—
not because they are hidden,
but because they have never truly been seen.

They are filtered through eyes
blinded by bias, fear, and denial.

Their invisibility is not accidental.
It has been carved—
stroke by stroke—
into their bodies, their minds, their hearts
for generations.

Not hundreds.
Not thousands.
Millions of acts of erasure.

Perpetrators make victims invisible
because exposure threatens them.
So they distort the truth.
Control the narrative.
Rewrite reality.

And families—
whether through fear, shame, or discomfort—
collude.

They dismiss.
They minimize.
They label:

“Liar.”
“Dramatic.”
“Unstable.”

They call for therapy, prayer—anything
that avoids truth.

And in doing so,
they erase.

They erase the abuse.
They erase the voice.
They erase the person.

Communities follow.
Silence becomes agreement.
Denial becomes protection.

And victims?
They are pushed into the shadows—
alive, speaking, breathing—
yet treated as if they do not exist.

Society reinforces this invisibility.

Through cognitive dissonance.
Through systems that demand proof from the wounded
while requiring nothing from those who harm.

In courtrooms and conversations alike,
truth is not enough.

Because bias—
both conscious and unconscious—
distorts what is seen.

So when someone stands before you
telling their truth—

You are not just hearing them.
You are judging them
through everything you’ve been conditioned to believe.

Victims are not invisible by nature.

They are made invisible
by a culture that has learned to:

Unsee abuse.
Unhear cries.
Unremember truth.
And uninvite discomfort.

You see no-thing.
You hear no-thing.
You say no-thing.

And that silence
is where invisibility lives.

So I ask you—

Why do people refuse to see?
To speak?
To stand beside those who have been erased?

The invisible are not hidden.

They are standing right in front of you.

Waiting—
not to be saved—
but to be seen.

So bring what has lived in the shadows
into the light.

Look again.
Listen differently.
Speak with courage.

See them.

Coercive Control Relationship!
By Kathie Mathis, Psy.D

Some of you didn’t go looking for this…
You were pulled into it.

Not all at once—
but over time.

Through intimidation.
Through threats.
Through experiences that slowly taught you what was “safe” and what wasn’t.

You thought you were building a family.
But what was really happening…
is you were being studied.

Watched.
Tested.
Conditioned.

Pushed in ways you didn’t fully see yet.

And every time you reacted—
which is what any human nervous system would do—
that reaction was used against you.

That’s not dysfunction.
That’s a pattern.

This wasn’t random chaos.
It was control.

A mix of manipulation, coercion, and tactics like DARVO—
where your reality gets flipped,
your voice gets questioned,
and your responses get used to discredit you.

So you adapted.

Because that’s what humans do to survive.

You started noticing patterns.
You became aware of triggers.
You learned timing.

You learned when to speak…
and when it wasn’t safe to.

You understood—sometimes without words—
that there were consequences for not complying.

And over time, something shifted.

You don’t react the same.
You don’t argue the same.
You don’t move the same.
You don’t think the same.

Because you’ve had to learn how to survive in an unsafe environment.

That’s not weakness.
That’s adaptation.

That’s what happens when someone has been under prolonged control.

And it changes you.

Not by choice—
but by circumstance.

So now you find yourself protecting.
Protecting your peace.
Protecting your children.

And maybe also realizing…
you were not protected the way you should have been.

That matters.

Because this is where the shift begins.

You start turning your experiences into awareness.
Your pain into something that moves you forward.
Your scars into something that holds meaning—not shame.

You are not easily broken—
not after surviving something like this.

And as you come back to yourself…

You stop chasing.
You stop over-explaining.
You stop shrinking to make things easier for others.

You begin to stand.

Not loud.
Not reactive.
But grounded.

Clear in what matters to you.
Steady in your presence.
Less pulled into chaos that was never yours to carry.

You tell the truth—your truth.
You hold your boundaries.
And you allow others to respond however they choose.

Because real power isn’t about control.

It’s about alignment.

And when someone is aligned with themselves—
they don’t have to fight the storm anymore.

They learn how to steady themselves within it while they navigate through it and ultimately
They calm it! Because you leave it!!

Liar

Public records show that President Trump voted by mail in the special election occurring Tuesday for the statehouse district that includes his Mar-a-Lago estate — in spite of his longstanding rhetoric against voting by mail and his efforts to push through the SAVE America Act, which includes restrictions on mail-in voting.

The strength, courage and tenacity of a victim seeking justice from her being r***d. It should not take 12 years for a victim to get justice in our legal system. We need reform.

Shannon Keeler says her alleged attacker confessed via Facebook messages.
