The person I've had the trouble with appears to believe in God (claims to) but in reality she is the most important person in her life to the point of abusing her children emotionally and verbally (not beating them, allows/encourages the step dad to over-punish them very harshly), and is cruelly selfish.
Very strange and disturbing family background as well. (freepmail follows)
The worst thing is not whatever harm she did to me (minimal - just layers of lies) but the harm done to the children is what breaks my heart.
:-(
For children to grow up under the thumb of a psychopath or narcissist is unbelievably difficult. Some inherit the problem, others subconsciencely seek out the same type of person.
Got your mail. Thanks!
