So my [M34] ex [F32] and I are getting divorced and have two kids who are 3 and 5. She admits that she suffers from mental illness and depression but has not been treated for it. Pretty much the entire time since and leading up to just before our breakup, she’s been accusing me of being verbally aggressive, verbally abusive, insulting, cheating with one of my friends (she cheated with a friend of her’s) etc. saying I’m impossible to placate when that was the behavior I’ve had to put up with. I’ve had to leave the house a few times because there was absolutely no way of talking her down from some of her rage fits. The couple times I stood up for myself and yelled back, she sobbed and threatened to leave. She has also kept telling me that I’m trying to rip her off and screw her over in the divorce when I’ve just been nothing but fair. She proposed a deal that would be totally ripping me off, but swears it’s fair and not a rip off deal (I know better and didn’t take it.) and straight up lied and said that the words on the paper in her deal she came up with are not as I’m reading them. Like it says “xyz,” she’ll say that it’s not xyz, it’s actually abc and I’m reading it wrong and it’s hurtful of me to read it as xyz. I don’t know if she’s trying to pull the wool over my eyes or if she genuinely does not know what she’s talking about.

Also, she thinks everyone is always mad at her or hates her/talks shit about her. She’ll walk in to a room where everyone is acting plain and normal and just fine and decide that they’re at war with her. Also, she’s super active on social media; selfies, videos of her talking about completely random stuff, rapidly spoken squirrely rants (not in a while though.) And she needs tons of attention and validation. She’s told me about the serious need for attention &amp; validation in the past.

What does all of this sound like? Help.
