Right . She didn ' t kill the children because of the custody battle . She killed them because she was mentally ill . <| sep |> He wasn ' t acting as a diplomat . This was a round table and dinner in France by a private organization that ' s pushing more cooperation between Russia and the US over Syria . Nothing official or diplomatic about it <| sep |> tldr She is using you to recover her selfesteem . Once she has it , she will dump your ass for someone she sees as higher value , or cheat on you and treat you like garbage . She could just be a manipulative POS who likes to play the victim . Her ex gets to play the role of the villain and you the rescuer . You can ' t be the rescuer forever . Eventually it will grow stale and she will shift you into the villain role and go out to look for a new rescuer . Grats ! Anyone , and I mean anyone , who stays in what they consider an abusive relationship long term has serious problems themselves . No normal healthy person would choose to remain .
