This is obviously false. Personality disorders are caused by genetic factors and childhood trauma. You can't get one from a marriage unless something has gone very wrong with the age of consent.
I've thought about this a lot obviously because it has been such a massive theme in my life. I think you're probably right about genetic factors and childhood trauma. Money just acted like a sort of fertiliser for all the toxic seeds within her. I then started to notice that everyone else with money around us was the same. Just people pretending to be happy but actually being miserable. I've ended up being deeply suspicious of money.
Personality disorders are triggered on adolescence and early adulthood by developmental factors. Not marriages. Not money. You need to be careful about how you use diagnostic labels. You're not a psychologist, so you can perpetuate stigma when you use pop psychology to diagnose. It's important to do your own research if you want to use a psychological term. You should look up the alternative dimensional model in the DSM 5, not just the old criteria copied from the DSM-IV.
That's interesting. I'm always open to new perspectives. You sound like you have some experience in the field. Can I ask, are you a psychologist?
No, just a genius with an interest in ethical science
