Dear Lord, please help me to understand what is happening in this situation.

YHVH | ADONAI | EHYEH | | HASHEM | JESUS | WAY | TRUTH | LIFE | JEHOVAH | LORD | GOD | MESSIAH | CHRIST | EL | ELOHIM | EL ELYON | EL SHADDAI | JAH | YAHWEH | LOGOS | LAW | JERUSALEM | RAPHAEL | MICHAEL | EMANUEL | TREE OF LIFE | LET THERE BE LIGHT

Charmelle and Denise both sent me their messages on February 25, 2023, at roughly the same time.

  • This email is a response to Charmelle Yvonne Puka‘s email (claiming Denise has mental health issues she refuses to acknowledge).
  • And a response to Denise’s text message (expressing an intention to move on from this never-ending family dispute).
  • To: Marjorie Puka, Janette Golay, Kelly Golay, Charmelle Puka, et al.

“Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is based on [the testimony of at least] two or three witnesses. As for those [elders] who continue in sin, reprimand them in the presence of all, so that the rest will be warned.” 1 Timothy 5:19-20

If you are not inclined to embrace the fear of the lord, then allow me to introduce the fear of government, which has been granted to us by the Lord. 

Read on.

“He who believes and trusts in the Son and accepts Him [as Savior] has eternal life [that is, already possesses it]; but he who does not believe the Son and chooses to reject Him, [disobeying Him and denying Him as Savior] will not see [eternal] life, but [instead] the wrath of God hangs over him continually.” John 3:36

Regardless of the outcome, our entire family stands to gain from an increased awareness and reverence for the fear of the lord, which forms the bedrock of wisdom, truth, and justice. Interestingly, the number of verses in the Bible concerning God’s wrath is twice that of His love, suggesting that love is inseparable from His wrath. This implies that authentic love can only be attained through unwavering non-violent action from those who are willing to stand up, defend, and safeguard the truth for future generations.

Love does no harm. Romans 13:10

Period.

What did Jesus mean by this?

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” Gospel of Thomas

“Let God be found true [as He will be], though every person be found a liar,”  “THAT YOU MAY BE JUSTIFIED IN YOUR WORDS, AND PREVAIL WHEN YOU ARE JUDGED [by sinful men].” Romans 3:4-8

This email is a response to Charmelle’s email (claiming Denise has mental health issues she refuses to acknowledge) and a response to Denise’s text message (expressing an intention to move on from this never-ending family dispute). 

Charmelle and Denise both sent me their messages on February 25, 2023, at roughly the same time.

Hello family!

I appreciate the fact that it seems like you all are communicating, even in my absence. I believe that more speech is always better than less speech because silence can often lead to conflict and misunderstanding.

I am filled with boundless energy and love and light, and I simply had to take the time to share my story with you. With all of the escalating legal disputes that have been taking place, I felt it was imperative to fully express myself and share my truth. Through the grace of God, I am blessed with the courage and strength to do so, and I hope that my story will inspire you to stand in truth and honor, even in the face of adversity.

Here we go!

A lesson I had to learn early in life is that true protection can only be achieved through complete and total transparency, at least for me this is true. This means being willing to reveal – even the most uncomfortable truths – in the pursuit of love and enlightenment.

To start, I’d like to share that I recently earned my Juris Doctor law degree in December of 2022. You can see proof of my law degree, watch me in action in live court trials, and explore my law library here

As someone who’s been actively engaged in the legal community for the last several years, I naturally have many peers and mentors in the form of lawyers, pro se litigants, retired judges, attorneys, retired attorneys, etc.

Throughout this altercation, I’ve regularly kept my legal network up to date, with our family’s dispute, with the intention of having mentors help me understand what laws apply to certain facts, actions, and behavior committed against me and my family by Janette, Puka, and Charmelle.

Early on in this dispute, I was encouraged by my entire legal peer network to commence litigation against Puka, Charmelle, and Janette in the general district court because every fact I presented (with evidence) revealed itself to be clear and convincing proof of intentional or negligent wrongdoing towards Joseph, Lucinda, Amrita, and the commercial entities we operate out of our at home office.

Looking back on the situation, I realize that in order to safeguard my entire family from any intentional or negligent harm caused by another family member, I should have taken more decisive proactive action. If I had to face this situation again, I would have immediately filed a claim with the court (upon receiving the first lawyer’s demand letter) for either Promissory or Equitable Estoppel to ensure that everyone involved understood the gravity of their actions and the consequences that would result from any further misconduct.

An estoppel hearing would have been a beneficial course of action, as it would have established the rights of all parties involved through a court order, without the need for lawyers to bill hours and drive up costs. This could have allowed for a clear and efficient resolution to the conflicts at hand, and potentially prevented further damage or harm from occurring within the family.

In retrospect, I recognize that one of my early mistakes was listening to Denise and Kevin’s advice that I should not pursue a lawsuit against the family simply because we are related. While I understand the sentiment behind the idea that family should stick together, I am not sure how long this excuse will remain valid, particularly when members of the family are intentionally causing harm to others or behaving in an unlawful or unethical manner. It is important to prioritize the protection of oneself and one’s loved ones, regardless of familial ties.

From the very beginning, all I wanted from Puka, Charmelle, and Janette was the truth. I sought complete honesty and total transparency, without any partial truths or hidden information. Unfortunately, it seemed that these family members were not willing to provide me with the level of honesty, transparency, or Jesus-based open communication that I was seeking, and this lack of trust and openness only served to exacerbate the conflicts and tensions within our family. I firmly believe that honesty and transparency are critical to any healthy relationship, and I will continue to prioritize these values in all of my interactions with you.

Recently, my business has been requiring me to work 16 hours per day 7 days a week, leaving me very little time to study for the BAR exam I’ll be taking in Washington State.

For some reason, I keep tricking myself into believing the elders of the family will pull themselves together and start leading our family by example, through God’s example.

After reflecting deeply on the behavior of the elders in my family, it has become abundantly clear to me that there is a widespread desire for change among all members of our family. However, despite this shared desire, it seems that many of us are unwilling to make the necessary changes to actually achieve the kind of transformation we all hope for. Instead, we continue to repeat the same negative patterns and behaviors, even as we lament the damage they have caused. 

I believe that it is time for us to take a hard look at ourselves and acknowledge the ways in which our actions may be contributing to the conflicts and tensions within our family. Only by acknowledging our own faults and committing to personal growth and change can we hope to truly overcome the challenges that face us as a family.

As self-proclaimed Christians, Janette and Puka have allegedly failed to follow one of the most fundamental commandments of Jesus Christ, which renders them as heathens if not followed. Matt 18:17 

Despite claiming to be saved by the blood and grace of Jesus, their actions do not readily appear to reflect this belief. It is disappointing to see that even as elders of the family, they have not upheld the values and principles of their faith. As a result, it raises questions about the authenticity of their faith and their commitment to living a Christian life. 

Not only did I graciously and duly give Janette, Puka, and Charmelle extensive due process to communicate directly their specific point of contention with me, they repeatedly chose to not engage in civil discourse, dialog, dialectic, or communication of any kind voluntarily. I was not given the opportunity to defend or protect myself, before being rendered guilty with a punishment of an unconscionable (shocking) increase in housing costs that was initiated and followed through to completion by Janette, Puka, and Charmelle. 

Despite having clean hands and being free from fault in this dispute, neither myself, Lucinda, nor Amrita was spared from the judgment of Janette, Puka, and Charmelle, who carried out a sentence that resulted in real damages to me, my family, and my business – without them taking the time to verify whether their actions were legal or morally justifiable.

The attached document below, titled “TIMELINE OF EVENTS,” contains my firsthand observations and personal experiences, as well as the evidence I have gathered to fully understand the behavior patterns of Puka, Janette, Charmelle, and Denise.

It is challenging for me to form a judgment on certain matters without having access to all available information and admissible evidence. Many of the facts presented to me remain unverified, making it difficult to come to a reasonable conclusion.

The undeniable breach of contract and tortious interference committed by Puka, Janette, and Charmelle, in this case, has left no doubt in the minds of my legal peers. We are unanimous in our agreement that this is a clear-cut case for summary judgment. However, if I choose to pursue legal action, I must be prepared for the sharks to circle this cause, as I’m shopping around for council, and for a potentially lengthy litigation process, as further issues may arise.

If I were to pursue legal action against Janette, Charmelle, and Puka for their negligent and intentional misconduct, I could file a subpoena – a one-page document that would require them or the phone companies to produce all relevant text message records, even those that Denise may have deleted. This would allow me to access any evidence that could help support my case and fulfill God’s commandment of making all things known in love and light via radical transparency.

Additionally, I have over 200 questions, about our case, that I can get a court order for you to answer. If you then decide to refuse to fully answer each question I present, I’m able to get a court order to have a bench warrant placed against you for failing to obey a court order. The idea is that you’d sit in jail until you decide you want to answer questions to my reasonable satisfaction.

I have no problem getting a court order(s) to reveal the truth in its entirety. Our court systems are rigged to divulge the truth in its entirety.

I say all that, to now tell you this.

I believe that society is better off with Denise’s seemingly harmless lies than with the actual harm caused, to me, by Janette, Charmelle, and Puka’s wealth with their intentional or negligent wrongdoing, both civilly and potentially criminally.

As you can clearly see in the “TIMELINE OF EVENTS” document, Janette, Charmelle, and Puka conspired to interfere with and break my contract with clear intentional interference (with potential malice justifying punitive damages to be recovered as a way to punish the wrongdoer from ever partaking in this sort of harmful behavior again).

Furthermore, what angers me beyond measure is the sheer audacity of Puka, Charmelle, and Denise to hurl accusations at Janette, branding her as a predator to David Taylor, only to abandon Denise when she stood up with honor to protect Puka from an alleged predator, Janette.

With Janette, Puka, and Charmelle’s readily apparent lack of integrity with their two-faced behavior and hypocritical allegations, they themselves are guilty of causing intentional and negligent harm to others with their wealth. They have created problems that are like MOUNTAINS, and yet they have the nerve to point fingers at others. It’s a blatant display of hypocrisy and moral corruption.

It is absolutely enraging to think that if Puka had not put the idea in Denise’s head about Janette being a predator, Denise might not have felt the need to stand up so fiercely and honorably in defense of Puka against this alleged predator, Janette. Puka’s negligent or intentional deceitful manipulations have caused so much unnecessary damage and chaos in our lives and the last time I spoke with Puka she was utterly delusional, refusing to even merely acknowledge that she might have been the root cause and driving force behind this catastrophic mess.

From the evidence presented in the TIMELINE document, it appears that Janette is placing the blame on Puka for not considering Janette’s feelings when Joseph’s family moved into the house, even though it was a private contract offer between Puka and Joseph. And for some reason, you all somehow believed and behaved as though my private contract was public information that requires conversation behind my back — ad nauseam.

A few reasons why it’s not right to talk behind the back of another, regardless of if you hold yourself to the commandment standards of Jesus or if you’re a non-believer, is that insidiously talking behind someone’s back (and not to their face) is malicious, unprofessional, unethical, disrespectful, not kind, not useful, not helpful, not fair, typically not true, it’s nosy, it’s hateful, it’s mean, it’s selfish, and that person does not have the opportunity to defend themself with their direct personal experience of the topic of discussion taking place behind their back. Never mind that talking behind people’s backs violates a commandment Jesus orders Christians to follow to not be rendered as heathen unbelievers, however, in order to be and remain a true believer (in the literal eyes of God), the Matthew 18 procedure for dispute resolution simply must be followed without exception or excuse. If the professed Christian fails to heed what Jesus Christ says, you are an actual literal heathen that does not deserve the grace of God from His community of Verily believers who actually “do” what Jesus says, without merely being a church member who only goes to church to virtue signal to their peers like the Pharisees. 

Looking back, the next time Puka comes to me crying and expressing her reluctance to sell her old house, I’ll make sure to prioritize Janette’s feelings – before comforting Puka. 

(Lol. Sorry not sorry for the sarcasm, but I needed some comic relief with all this unusual madness that’s still seemingly brewing).

Janette seems to be fixated on the fact that she’s not listed as a lifetime beneficiary, while her other two sisters can receive benefits from the trust while Puka is alive, and this appears to be the only reason why the trust needed to be dissolved and rewritten. It is my opinion, that even though David Taylor might still be liable for unlawful action taken at the command of Puka, David Taylor gave Puka exactly what she asked for, at the time she was asking for it.

Listen up! 

If you think you can continue this game of pretending to be completely innocent while blaming Denise as the only wrongdoer, I have some news for you.

Prior to Charmelle’s email and Denise’s text to me on the same day February 25, 2023, I had not worked on the lawsuit against Janette, Charmelle, and Puka for several months. I had not even thought about the clear-cut case I have against Janette, Charmelle, and Puka, which would undoubtedly result in a win. 

I can’t believe you all couldn’t let it go! I was (still might be) willing to move on, and you should have done (do) the same instead of indulging your egotistical need for revenge on never-ending drama and conflict, while ignoring Jesus’ commandment in Matt 18.

It absolutely enrages me that Janette, Charmelle, Puka, and Denise feel entitled to bicker about – who knows what – behind closed doors (and behind everyone’s back), in the cowardly protection of darkness, leading to an escalation of behavior so severe that lawyers had to intervene. 

It is completely immoral and unjustified.

Scripture wisely informs us that nothing remains hidden and that all things will be known. Not some things, but ALL things will become self-evident.

“For there is nothing hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come out into the open.” Luke 8:17

My old boss used to say, “I don’t fire you, you fire you.”

Well, I’d like to amend my old boss’s saying with, “I don’t sue you, you sue you.”

If filing a lawsuit is the only way to uncover what has been kept blatantly and actively hidden from me, then so be it.

The next aspect of the issue at hand pertains to the claims surrounding mental health.

When it comes to mental illnesses where the alleged individual is in denial about their condition, I have a suggestion to make.

Not only is it evident that Denise is struggling with some issues, but it is also becoming increasingly clear that there may be something deeply wrong with Charmelle, Janette, and Puka as well.

It is beyond infuriating to me that Janette, Charmelle, and Puka can behave towards me in the despicable way that they did and not expect an equalizing response from the person they violated. This level of immaturity is unacceptable, and at its worst, criminal.

Puka’s belief that she is completely innocent and that her wealth gives her the right to hire actors to commit civil and criminal intentional wrongdoings is a fallacy and a dangerous one at that. Money should never be a license for immoral and illegal behavior.

If and when I decide to file a lawsuit against Charmelle, Janette, and Puka, I have the right to request a court order for an extensive mental examination of all parties involved. One other reason this could be necessary is to ensure that all parties are fit to stand trial and to determine if any underlying mental health issues may have played a role in the events that led to the lawsuit.

Janette alleged that Puka was still in a state of grieving one year after the passing of Puka’s spouse and was not mentally fit to make decisions regarding the trust and property.

Puka may claim to be a Christian, but according to Jewish law – which Jesus followed being a Jew – one is allowed a full week to grieve after the burial before returning to the normal world of life, business, and commerce. Puka had well over one full year to grieve, and if Janette wants to claim that Puka was “still” suffering to the point of mental incapacity and not able to make coherent decisions about property and trust, I highly doubt the court will accept that as a valid excuse for her behavior towards me.

Nevertheless, Puka showed up at my door unannounced and without invitation, just four days after my sibling’s passing (not after the burial), and asked me to sign a document while I was still in the midst of grieving.

The point is.

There is a noteworthy difference between making financial decisions while grieving for four days versus making financial decisions while grieving for well over a year, which suggests that one person may have been behaving improperly toward the other.

According to Jesus and Jewish law, Puka ought to have allowed me a period of seven complete days to grieve and mourn before engaging in any business dealings with me, following the burial, not four days after the passing.

To be clear, I want it on record that I consented to purchase Puka’s house under duress.

As you can see on the “TIMELINE OF EVENTS” document, Puka refused to see Andrea until after the house dispute was resolved (request the audio recording from me if you don’t believe that Puka said this).

I tentatively agreed to purchase the house because I wanted to purchase special Grandma time for Andrea. Andrea deserved to have a grandma who was present on her deathbed, instead of actively engaging in petty family disputes that ultimately mean nothing.

Puka’s behavior with her wealth caused more damage than can be quantified in terms of material value. 

Listen up!

The emotional and spiritual shockwave that Janette, Puka, and Charmelle unleashed upon our family could demand corrective measures if you three can’t manage to cease your squabbling over trivial sums! 

This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated any longer!

The situation at hand demands immediate attention and resolution. The way Janette, Puka, and Charmelle have conducted themselves has caused immense emotional and spiritual damage to our family, far beyond any material or monetary damage. This is not something that can be swept under the rug or simply brushed aside. It has affected each and every one of us deeply (some of us on a daily basis), and the longer this goes on, the more harm it will keep causing.

It’s time to put an end to the bickering and arguing over insignificant amounts of money. This is not about pennies, it’s about healing the wounds that have been inflicted upon our family. If the three of you cannot come to an agreement and find a way to resolve this matter, then corrective action will be necessary to ensure that our family can move forward and begin to heal.

We cannot allow this behavior to continue any longer. It’s time to set aside our differences and work toward a solution that benefits everyone involved. We owe it to ourselves, to our family, and to those who have come before and after us to find a way to resolve this conflict and move forward together.

In my personal opinion, I don’t believe Charnelle, Puka, or Janette deserve their wealth (inheritance), given how they have chosen to behave with it towards other family members. Their actions have shown a lack of respect and consideration for others, and have caused uncommon harm to our family.

Wealth is a responsibility, and those who possess it should use it for the greater good, to benefit not only themselves but also the people around them. It’s not just about accumulating wealth, but also about how that wealth is utilized. The way Charnelle, Puka, and Janette have behaved with their wealth shows a disregard for this responsibility, and a lack of understanding of what it truly means to be wealthy, happy, and healthy.

If they cannot use their wealth in a responsible and respectful manner, then perhaps they do not deserve to have it. Wealth is a privilege, not a right, and it should be earned through hard work, dedication, and a commitment to making the world a better place. Those who do not uphold these values do not deserve the benefits of wealth.

It appears that Charmelle, Janette, and Puka have made a decision to cause irreparable harm to our family. Their actions and behavior have created a divide that may be impossible to bridge.

It’s disheartening to see family members who are supposed to love and support one another act in such a destructive manner. The damage that has been done may be extensive and long-lasting, and it’s difficult to predict if we will ever be able to fully recover from it.

It’s important to recognize that their decision to harm the family in this way is ultimately their responsibility. We can only control our own actions and reactions, and it’s up to each of us to decide how we want to move forward. We must do what we can to protect ourselves and our loved ones from further harm, while also attempting to find a way to heal and repair the damage that has been done.

Let’s be clear here.

It’s nothing short of a fantasy to believe that an attack on my family of this magnitude can ever be forgiven without considerable repentance and penance. Mark 1:15

The harm that has been inflicted upon our family is serious and cannot be ignored. Without genuine remorse and a sincere effort to make amends for the damage that has been done, it’s difficult to see how any kind of forgiveness or reconciliation could be possible.

The road to healing and forgiveness is not an easy one, and it will require significant effort and commitment from all parties involved. It’s up to Charmelle, Janette, Puka, and Denise to take responsibility for their actions and to make a genuine effort to repair the harm that has been done. 

Without this, it’s difficult to see how we can move forward as a family and begin to rebuild the trust that has been lost.

Forgiveness is not something that can be demanded or taken for granted. It must be earned through genuine remorse, sincere effort, and a commitment to making things right. If Charmelle, Janette, Puka, and Denise are willing to take these steps, then perhaps forgiveness and reconciliation can be possible. If not, then we must do what we can to protect ourselves and our loved ones from further harm.

Janette, Charmelle, and Puka did not follow the only Jesus commandment that keeps them from being heathens and unbelievers.

However, scripture tells us to forgive our brothers in Christ seven times 77 (539 times), even if they commit sin on you seven times in one day, you are to forgive your brother [in Christ]. Matthew 18: 21-22

It’s not quite clear what the procedure is for forgiving heathens, however, it is very clear how we should forgive our brothers in Christ.

All I know is that there can be no forgiveness without repentance and penance and I’m not quite sure what this all might look like for the unwilling heathen who refuses to acknowledge that they are literally behaving as the wolf in sheep’s clothing that scripture warns us about (maybe not tho).

“Pay attention and always be on guard [looking out for one another]! If your brother sins and disregards God’s precepts, solemnly warn him; and if he repents and changes, forgive him.” Luke 17:3

This is your solemn warning.

It’s true that we are called to love our enemies, and I appreciate that I can still hold love for you in my heart Charmelle, Janette, and Puka despite the harm you’ve caused my family. However, it’s also important to recognize that loving someone does not mean we must allow them to continue harming us.

If your negative energy and actions continue to cause damage then it’s understandable why I’d want to protect myself, my family, and my business from further harm by initiating a well-earned lawsuit against the three of you, Puka, Janette, and Charmelle. 

It’s always possible to love someone from a distance and to set boundaries that keep everyone safe and healthy.

To wrap up this dissertation.

If I were to tell you that you might have a mental health condition, would you actually seek help in the way someone else wants you to seek help, or do you continue to violently protest while causing more harm to those closest to you?

After looking at nearly every possible mental health disease in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V), I’ve listed all of the potential relevant diagnoses (below) that I believe might be affecting Puka, Charmelle, Janette, and Denise. And potentially more of us family members.

If truth be told, I have spent more than one month as an inpatient in a mental health care facility for suicidal ideations while I was stationed at a Navy base that had more suicides than all bases, in all branches of the entire military, combined. In my first month out of boot camp at the nuclear base in Goose Creek South Carolina, three of my classmates committed suicide. And the worse part of living on the nuclear base was the horrific jokes told about all these suicides, constantly

The point is, I have humbled myself more than just this particular incident by telling someone what was truly going on inside of my head, in order to save my own life. I want to live, I want to be alive, and I want to ONLY live in the loving truth and light of God FOREVER! I love living, I love life, I love growing (even if it hurts), I love you, I love myself, and I love God with all of my heart and soul. That is the truth, forever! AMEN!

And to be clear, what was going on inside of my head, at the time, was a direct result of my environment. After I was removed from the influence of those surrounding influences, I was able to begin healing. 

It’s difficult to say for certain what is driving the behavior of Charmelle, Janette, Puka, and Denise (and any of us). It’s possible that there may be underlying mental health conditions or other factors that are contributing to the actions that may relieve them from their intentional or negligent wrongdoing. However, it’s also important to recognize that individuals are ultimately responsible for their behavior, regardless of any underlying factors.

It’s possible that their behavior could be considered criminal if they are engaging in activities that violate the law. However, without more specific information about their actions, it’s difficult to make a definitive determination – which could require a lawsuit to subpoena and investigate anyone who has any information (or participation) in the wrongdoings of Puka, Janette, and Charmelle (Adam Dixon, John Martin, Brain Scott, etc).

Regardless of the specific factors at play, it’s clear that their behavior is causing harm to those around them. It’s important to hold them accountable for their actions and to take steps to protect ourselves and our loved ones from any further harm. 

If necessary, seeking legal or other forms of assistance may be proper to address our situation.

Regardless of whoever you all turn out to be (once the full truth is revealed), I am fully committed to safeguarding and supporting myself and my loved ones, as well as dedicating myself wholeheartedly to serving God with every aspect of my being.

To be perfectly clear.

It’s ultimately your decision whether or not I will take action to protect myself and my family, even if that means pursuing legal measures including pursuing a court order to relieve Puka, Charmelle, and Janette of a portion of their wealth and/or pressing charges that may result in imprisonment.

The choice is yours.

I don’t sue you. You sue you.

Anyways, I have three years to decide if I want to initiate a lawsuit, due to the grace of statutes of limitation. Your lawyer Brooke did not have us sign a Release & Waiver. This means that Brooke made sure that she would receive full attorney’s fees, regardless of the outcome of our dispute. Your lawyer had her own self-interest in mind, not our family’s. If Brooke had us sign a Release & Waiver form, then you would have an affirmative defense to have the case dismissed with prejudice, if I filed a lawsuit against Puka, Janette, and Charmelle.

So… Keep poking around and you might find out. 

At this point, I would like to make it clear that this is not a notice of a lawsuit. Rather, it is my last and formal attempt to resolve the issues at hand without resorting to legal action or involving law enforcement.

Mental Health Possibilities

Hallucinations occur frequently in psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic disorder and borderline personality disorder, as well as in other disorders such as dementia and Parkinson’s.

Anosognosia, also called “lack of insight,” is a symptom of severe mental illness experienced by some that impairs a person’s ability to understand and perceive his or her illness. It is the single largest reason why people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder refuse medications or do not seek treatment.

People with narcissistic personality disorder are extremely resistant to changing their behavior, even when it’s causing them problems. Their tendency is to turn the blame on to others.

People with borderline personality disorder may experience intense mood swings and feel uncertainty about how they see themselves. Their feelings for others can change quickly, and swing from extreme closeness to extreme dislike. These changing feelings can lead to unstable relationships and emotional pain.

Factitious disorder imposed on another (previously called Munchausen syndrome by proxy) is when someone falsely claims that another person has physical or psychological signs or symptoms of illness, or causes injury or disease in another person with the intention of deceiving others.

High-conflict people (HCPs) tend to have a pattern of behavior that increases or keeps conflicts going, rather than calming or resolving them. 

They tend to have four key characteristics:

  • Preoccupation with blaming others (their Targets of Blame)
  • Lots of all-or-nothing thinking (and solutions)
  • Unmanaged emotions (which often throw them off-track)
  • Extreme behaviors (that 90% of people would never do)

Folie à deux (‘folly of two’, or ‘madness [shared] by two’), additionally known as shared psychosis or shared delusional disorder (SDD), is a collection of rare psychiatric syndromes in which symptoms of a delusional belief, and sometimes hallucinations, are transmitted from one individual to another. The same syndrome shared by more than two people may be called folie à trois (‘three’) or quatre (‘four’); and further, folie en famille (‘family madness’) or even folie à plusieurs (‘madness of several’).

Confabulation is a neuropsychiatric disorder wherein a patient generates a false memory without the intention of deceit.

Tangentiality refers to a disturbance in the thought process that causes the individual to relate excessive or irrelevant detail that never reaches the essential point of a conversation or the desired answer to a question.

Types of Delusions

A delusion is a fixed, false belief in something that is not real or does not exist, and is held despite evidence to the contrary. Delusions are common with mental health diagnoses, but can also occur with medical conditions such as brain injury. Types of delusions include persecutory, erotomanic, grandiose, jealous, somatic, mixed, and unspecified.

Persecutory Delusions: This type causes a person to believe that someone or something is “out to get them.

Psychosis refers to a disconnection from reality and may include symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Mayo Clinic says OCD is a pattern of unwanted thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead you to do repetitive behaviors (compulsions).

Neuroticism – Wikipedia

more likely than average to be moody and to experience such feelings as anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness.[1] Such people are thought to respond worse to stressors and are more likely to interpret ordinary situations, such as minor frustrations, as appearing hopelessly difficult.
