63. He is severely personality disordered.

He is what I have colorfully described as a “cluster B train wreck” (See DSM-5). In simple terms this means always needing to be the top dog, the center of attention, exclusively concerned about what benefits him without concern for the rights of or harm to others, and chronically stormy interpersonal relationships and identity fluctuation. He has all these qualities to the nth degree, and much can be explained from that perspective. Add to that that he is now caught in a trap of his own making, i.e., chickens coming home to roost. He is not mentally or psychologically well AND he is continuing on tried and true strategies which got him where he is today. They may seem like madness, and may actually be madness, but it is consistent with prior patterns of behavior.
