SusanofO, He could be, but we lack the information. I've dealt with sociopaths in the past, even used to work for one (no, that's not an exaggeration, but a literal fact; if he's ever brought into a mental hospital for some other reason, he will not be coming back out unmedicated, if at all), so I quite understand people's worries. But the fact is that he could also be perfectly healthy in that regard, just living by different values from what most find acceptable. Thus, advising her to run away seems premature. Advising her to seek qualified advice seems to be the best option.
