^^Yeah. I think in both cases these people only show up in our lives when there is some benefit to them. In my case, she definitely wanted an ego boost to feel superior to me especially financially/career-wise since I am having a difficult time in that regard.

Interesting that in some of our conversations, it sounds like she is really alone. She doesn't get along with her mom or brother. She's single, and not by choice. She also doesn't seem to have close friends. If she treats other people the way she treated me, it doesn't surprise me that other people would pull away too. I mean some people don't get along with family or are single by choice (or not), etc. But to really not have any close relationships makes me think that it has to do with how she treats people.

She is definitely not getting another chance from me.
