Damages relationship and not appreciate why the other is distance and cautious with her. She apparently uses psychiolkgoiical defense mechanisms of Denial, Rationalization, Minimization. Hx of psychological abuse with both of her children when they were early elementary years. Would deliverately lie to husband about any wrong doing. She has never said sorry ...
