[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 612638"] Great stuff here. An attorney friend of mine once told me basically the same thing MW Mom.....many of these folks who get off in court, in the end are back again. They just can't stay clean/stay out of the system/their true colors become very clear in due time. This is why she never sweats it when there are verdicts she doesn't agree with. And on a similar note, I personally feel one of the major "issues," with folks who are mentally ill (and are not getting good tx) or emotionally ill is [I]a lack of gratitude[/I]. So, no way do they feel gratitude if the case works out in their favor. There is NO "there by the grace of G-d...." No appreciation/no gratitude/no awareness, etc. Instead, they feel entitled or at best conflicted or even disturbed/angry that they had to go through the court system in the first place. Or some, might even miss the spotlight. They don't learn a lesson. They are not grateful. They do not thank those who helped them or their Higher Power. They don't "get it" at all. They never see themselves as fortunate...only victims. Sooner or later, they are back in trouble. [/QUOTE]
