Stuff that grinds your gears

On another subject; how is your family friend that left the house and is going through a split. I seem to recall he was in a bad way the poor guy.
Not good Mike, thank you for asking.
He had to contact his ex wife's solicitor (well I wrote the email) to say that he was unwell, and not working so couldn't pay maintenance. Included doctors report etc.
He was sent a very nasty letter about his court order etc. And she hasn't obeyed any court order ever in the past decade! It shows that people are well versed in what the family courts actually prioritise and they act accordingly. Human behaviour is such that people will continue on an y path if they are enabled.
He has been split for many years Mike. He has had 10+ years of hell on earth.
The whole situation would make a good read for a case study to be honest

It's terrible how people behave. There's rarely anything amicable is there.

Because of my professional experience nothing really surprises me any more in terms of the lengths people will go to in order to cause hurt. It's the collateral damage and the facilitation of that hurt is the real issue.

Very little is amicable you are right. Particularly at the start. Emotion, hurt and outside interference cause irreparable rifts. However as time passes it usually eases and logic and sense prevails to a degree.

In some cases this never happens. With these there is usually one person (often with a personality disorder) who continues because in their mind and the mind of those they purposely surround themselves with, they are right.

The system unfortunately seems to support these people rather than call them to order.
