at your request, i went and read a few things. those words say what you already know -- that you are dealing with an manipulative and self-obsessed person. i don't believe she's bright enough to be calculating. her emotional conniving obviously comes from a self-doubt so deep that only she can fix it. you cannot validate someone like that. and you absolutely should not be using her weakness as an excuse for your own. be the adult i know you to be. do the right thing.
