Read the histrionic one and then you'll scratch your head and wonder if it's really clinically possible.
Sadly it is. Sadly for everyone who have to deal with her. She also seems to have some other so-called dark triad traits.
A toxic cocktail, indeed.
Adding in that I have a massive feeling of deja vu again. How many times within the past few years we have been looking forward to court, hoping for some sort of reasonable solution/outcome, relief for the children, and comeuppance for the Abuser?
Instead it all has been anticlimactic and kind of fizzled out. Her criminal charges in March (?) 2023, Dupee's report, and so on.
I feel disappointed in the US court system. That someone, who is not that smart yet somewhat cunning can play it and use it as a tool for further abuse. And she is not being held accountable for all the abuse and harassment and stalking and stealing and wire fraud.
That someone who is devoid of any maternal instincts and decency is allowed to destroy her children and nothing has been done.
Please tell me,
@Hiraeth that there is hope that eventually the Abuser will be made responsible for her own litigation costs (and perhaps sanctioned for the many reasons she could be sanctioned for)?
And I am thinking that when someone like me who is not involved, who does not think of Alice during the time I am not here on the forums and who follows this case just out of a strange therapeutic need to see some justice (having suffered due to my own narc mother and witnessed a close friend being abused by such woman) and because I have become very fond of the community that has formed over here (would be an excellent subject for anthropological fieldwork!) feels disheartened by the legal abuse that is tolerated by the system, then how would Ioan feel? I am so very sorry for him...
And I fear that come Tuesday (in Europe) there will be no progress and the same old thing continues...
