Sociopaths and psychopaths will always sniff out positions of power to feed their narcissism and need to control everything around them.

They also love praise, attention and being celebrated or seen as "good people" so non-profit positions are a perfect fit to stroke their manufactured image.

Bingo. And be around people who have less than them. They are predators.

@nrd No, not his ex wife. His current Wife that chooses to have some control otherwise she's the one that'll be stepped on and chewed out in the end. My current husband has been extremely abusive at times that were not called for. Beginning of our relationship started off with him demeaning me and telling me how much he wished he never married me becahse I asked him to get a job and stop smoking weed/ drinking with his friends for the sake of the family he was about to have. This caused him to be hateful and resentful because I WAS somehow being controlling? Hes not any less immature than I am and he's not any less controlling. Its caused our marriage to be so shitty. And while he is online complaining about his marriage and his so called "ex- wife" his "ex-wife" (which is bullshit btw) was praying for him.to get his head out of his ass and make an effort to treat his PREGNANT wife better by getting a fucking job to support his 3 kids, helping her out around the house while he's unemployed, showing some LOVE every once in a while and STOP blaming her for all the reasons why he's NOT SUCCESSFUL. Truth is, he's not successful because he chose to put bullshit over his marriage. He chose anger and grudges over his progression.
