With a Teddy Bear in Hand, Trembling Bottom Lip and Finely-Tuned Passive Aggressive Neediness, Once in Control, the 'House-Devil-Street-Angel' Tyrant and Manipulator Arrives Centre Stage, and You'll Be Left Wondering Where 'Mr Gentle Soul' Went.
Although much of the work and writing pertaining to relationship psychopaths often revolves around the hyper-sexuality of the promiscuous psychopath in terms of their targeting and mind controlling their enablers, there remains a large demographic among the psychopathic spectrum who is never good looking enough, or uninterested in/incapable of—sex for control purposes—and this is the Babyman psychopath.
Although much of the work and writing pertaining to relationship psychopaths often revolves around the hyper-sexuality of the promiscuous psychopath in terms of their targeting and mind controlling their enablers, there remains a large demographic among the psychopathic spectrum who is never good looking enough, or uninterested in/incapable of—sex for control purposes—and this is the Babyman psychopath.
This often 'roly-poly', 'little boy lost' predator seeks out and targets women with a strong (often unfulfilled) parental instinct. Women who are by nature and innate consciousness—nurturers and maternal archetypes—with a strong desire to 'care' for others.
Enter center stage: the Babyman psychopath. No, he is not your online dating, singles-bar style manipulator and predator. Often he is not even interested in sex. But he is no less a cunning, determined and ruthless predator who delights in his hidden parasitic agenda behind a wry, helpless smirk and watery puppy dog eyes. Head tilted ever so slightly sideways while welling up with tears for full manipulative effect.
The female target will often encounter this individual living alone (but more likely with a parent or relative) and he will play the 'helpless, but lovable' human teddy bear angle of attack to a T. He'll still have his childhood toys (especially Teddy bears) with him until adulthood. He will have signs around his home with slogans such as EVERYONE DESERVES A HAPPY CHILDHOOD and other trappings of Hallmark-style superficial chemical-bonding inducing tactics to sweep his wife-mother enabler off her feet. She will be told how he needs taking care of and she'll gladly do it. He will be a child when he needs to be—so adorable and "what a gentle man in this day and age of horny brutes".
He'll wear a Mickey Mouse tie when he goes to work for some government agency or welfare-related employment program. A nice school teaching job perhaps—or a reporter with a small town newspaper. Nothing too challenging. He'll play the 'harmless' but also sometimes arrogant—cerebral, politically correct type who drops phrases such as 'carbon footprint' and 'identity politics' during his numerous cigarette breaks. He is also trying to quit smoking. But only proclaims this. He talks about becoming an author or screenwriter—but hasn't an original idea in his smirking rosy cheeked head. No talent of any kind—musical, artistic or otherwise—but a self-proclaimed, arrogant expert on all these matters. He is waiting for his letter from the Nobel Prize committee to also come in the door any day now.
When he gets a cold or something more 'deadly' such as the flu, he behaves as if it is terminal cancer and he is about to draft up his will. When he does not get what he wants he sulks like a spoiled little boy. Bottom lip trembling and with copious amounts of the silent treatment. Like all psychopaths, he considers any children that the partner has from a previous relationship as being territorial rivals. However, in public he will talk about adopting these 'really awesome kids'.
When his female enabler leaves town to visit her family or sick friend, he pouts and frets at the airport. Upon her return, he is like a giddy little boy on Christmas morning. Perhaps even a nambypamby, flappy arm wave hello. Left alone without his domestic servant, the house will be unkempt as he has been watching TV the whole time and this will just further enforce his ad hoc 'helplessness' upon his devoted female enabler—who he is calling a 'fat stupid bitch' in his mind and smirking at her behind his back as she begins to wash the mountain of dishes in the kitchen sink while she is still jet lagged.
But the Babyman psychopath takes nothing for granted. Like all devious predators, there has to be potential fall-back enabler(s) if needed. The relationship continues only as long as she remains under the spell of his 'little boy lost' persona. If she starts getting too independent, or makes new women friends/social circle without his permission, he will seek an upgrade: another female with a strong nurturing instinct. The Babyman psychopath can smell them in much the same way a shark can smell a bleeding fisherman miles away.
If the enabler gets a serious illness, then Babyman Psychopath portrays himself as the real victim. If no government medical aid or home care assistance is forthcoming, he is back to his parents or another relative. He'll walk out the door mouthing "I love you..." with his head tilted ever so slightly sideways and eyes welling up for full effect. Then he moves on as if the 'stupid fat bitch' never existed. Just business.

The Anvil of the Psyche is considered a vital manual for personal and social survival in a world controlled by greed and false hopes. Thomas' writings and interviews have evolutionised people to build a firewall around their own psyche and not to be lured into handing over personal independence to an exterior collective or guru. As a result, his NO CONTACT EVER AGAIN philosophy applied to controlling individuals and groups has made Thomas an enemy of mind-controlled death cults and neo-Nazi fringe groups. Thomas has also been featured in several films and documentaries.
