[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a divorced mom, and unfortunately I know of lots of crazy exes. Mental illness, [b]mostly personality disorders, are all over the place these days[/b], and they are a huge driver of divorce.

Oh, and I have a crazy ex. I have primary custody and sole legal custody of our three kids. I do not talk about my ex in public though. Many of us are more concerned with our kids than with badmouthing our exes, even if they deserve it.

Yes! Why is this true?!? [/quote]

I think that in the past these people would have no chance, not even attend regular schools or hold jobs.  But with the treatments/therapy currently available they get improvements to the point that they are well enough to be integrated into the society, but not well enough to withstand the trials and stresses of being married with kids.   Their unlucky partners are left to deal with the aftermath.[/quote]

This is true.  There are a lot of papers on this nowadays. Life is safer and duller than ever thus “quirky” people can get by with their screens and homebody lifestyles with relative ease. And if they watch enough tv and movies and copy the behaviors when out, they can fool people for awhile.  Not for a repeat game of day in/out (ie live in situation) but certainly for a weekend or series of dates. Pay attention to when they start repeating themselves, then the gig is up.

Whereas before life required more human interaction, more sticking up for yourself, more general risks like driving / going to class / mandatory sports / clear gender roles.  Now you can skip Hs gym for yoga, use uber, work on a computer 24/7 and outsource more skills than ever (groceries, cooking, cleaning, buying presents, etc.)

And way before that if you were that out of it you’d die early from a “tragic” accident. You’d forget to plant your crops and starve, or pack the rifle for the wagon trip, or bumble into the bear den, or get eaten by the saber tooth tiger.  Thus your mental illness/disabilities gene pool would end.  Darwin would win.  Darwin can’t get you if you stay in your parents basement so long playing on a computer. [/quote]
