[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 517427"] I have a niece who's doing the same thing: married a real loser, had a child by him, he stole her money and car and abandoned her, she reconnected with him and resumed the relationship, and now it's "done" one day and resumed the next, over and over again. He pays no child support, is unemployed (so he says), and we're pretty sure he stays in the relationship, however sporadically, to keep her hopeful and thus not getting a legal separation and pushing for child support. The family circled the wagons around her when he abandoned her, everyone pitched in to help her fly to his home (lives in his mother's trailer) to get her car back, and then we all watched as she took him back again and we felt we'd been supporting a fool. Now we just stand back and let her malfunction, as she's so stubborn about it and just walls out any family member, no matter how formerly beloved, who advises her to just dump the loser already. We all worry that she'll come up pregnant from one of their "on again" episodes and thus dig herself into an even deeper hole. And this was a kid who had NEVER been in any trouble before all of this, and who had been sweet and loving and amicable with everyone. I don't think it's nymphomania. I think it's wildly over-attaching to a man (or men, in cases where there are multiple babies by multiple men) and then "doubling down" when things go bad, rather than walking away from the loser as any self-respecting woman would do. Still, it's tremendously self-destructive and, of course, when you start adding child after child to the scenario, tremendously saddening and even despairing to observe in a life so young and formerly so hopeful.
