As if the penchant for victimhood was not strong enough, blended thoroughly with compulsive lying, childishness, a dubious cold streak, coveting of the taken, paranoid neuroses, a perverse lack of shame, and a preference for the misogynistic, false, and heretical, it appeared she was also inclined to cradle robbing. She had absolutely no conscience and merely buried her transgressions in new ones. Whatever he had thought he had seen in her that was good, whatever beauty he had fooled himself into, was such a strong illusion that he now doubted his own eyes and heart. There was nothing there but a desperate need for attention … from anyone she deemed worthy, and the more deranged the desire the better. She was sick. She had made him into a monster, yet she was the devil herself and she was disgusting.
