Notice a pattern: she'll present things as if she cares about your interests. She tells you to go her way so as to avoid appearing mean or vindictive or what not, to gain more from the settlement, to avoid some mysterious consequence in the near future... Why does she pretend to care so much about you? In my opinion, if she could gain more by being silent, she would do it.So when she talks, it's not really out of helping you out as she presents it.
Right - it's all about control and manipulation of me. That really hurts to realize it. But that's exactly what it is and what everyone has been telling me. I have been "no no no" You don't know her like I do, she would never do that. But the facts tell another story.
