Sociopath
Yeah, the mind games were the worst, a huge part of the abuse.
I've held my ground for ~12 years now, so I'm unlikely to change my mind on seeing him.
Your mother really should not have pushed you to have a relationship. Sympathies that she did so.
Good for you! And thank you.

This is in response to those who said that many sociopaths do not seek help for fear not to be associated with serial killers.
I beg to differ. Most sociopaths do not seek help, because they do not think they have a problem. Most are not even aware of the fact that they are sociopaths. The way they treat people doesn't usually hurt them, since they're the ones who take advantage of the others (and not necessarily because they want to screw with others' minds, but simply because they do not care about others and they have little to no morals). Even if their behavior brings them suffering (e.g. they feel lonely, because people do not want to be friends with them any longer because of their abusive ways), they will not perceive their behavior as the cause for it, they will instead blame everybody else for their situation. As such, they will feel no need to go seek any help from psychologists or psychiatrists...
This is based on what I've learned in psychotherapy school and on my own experience with a person who has mild ASPD (with some paranoid tendencies too)...
