> mainly she is unable to conceptualize that she is wrong and thus never learns from experience. Yep. That sounds familiar. > She acts out in order to gain attention. From ruining the family finances like in the first example to engaging in affairs and luring men from the internet to appear at the house. Yep. > She has made false claims against me to the police. Not exactly but in the neighborhood. > Refuses to clean up after herself, leaving huge messes, while complaining about a single item I might leave out. Mine was a hoarder. Otherwise, yep. > She lies, a lot. She doesn't seem to understand that I don't trust her anymore after all the lies, to her that's in the past even if it was a few minutes ago. ...while she keenly remembers the smallest of slights from decades ago. > I'm stuck due to my kid and family courts bias in favor of mothers. 14 more years. By the time mine got thru a paragraph, the judge would be giving me that look. I know that because judges routinely gave that look. Criminal judges, that is.
