@bittersweet, I must advice you be wary of becoming overly practical.
It is alright to be practical. But the problem with practicality is it is dependent on wisdom. The efficacy of wisdom is dependent on understanding.
Humans are not clear cut.
=================
I think Mahatma Gandhi didn't treat his wife fairly from the start. He kind of grew into a better person. And lots of kids are not really fair to em parents. Some later learn to be gentle with them.
@bittersweet, imagine if parents were to like treat high conflict adolescent teenagers the way the post says? What do you think will happen? Wouldn't there be more broken people in our world?
I can't say how one should deal with a high conflict person. I don't know enough. I am not God.
I just know that cause a human is not the picture we have of an ideal person doesn't make the human bad. Humans are more than just good or bad. [I know I am sounding mad here. Yes. I know.]

I believe high conflict people can be salvaged. The question is, "is one caring enough?"
High conflict people are like children. If you don't give up on them, you will make a better person out of them. The question is how? Cause if you don't know how, you will like aggravate them. The question is how? How does one cure a high conflict person without aggravating the person?
If you find the answer and you are willing to implement it, you can save any person that matters to you. Mind you that the tag of value is placed by you on a person.
DONT GET ME WRONG AM NOT JUDGING YOU.
I think there was a time I was a high conflict individual. But my parents persevered. Now I don't really give a phyuk about me. However, something in me wants to make them happy; for it seems the biblical commandment I am most guilty of is "honour your father and mother."
ALL AM SAYING IS WE SHOULDN'T BE QUICK TO SEND "HIGH CONFLICT PEOPLE TO THE GALLOWS."
We should reach for high conflict people. Of course we should protect ourselves. A dieing man will clutch at a straw.
JUST CAUSE A PATIENT HAS GOT HIV, DOESN'T MEAN A DOCTOR WILL NOT OPERATE. THE DOCTOR PROTECTS HIMSELF. CAUSE SELF IS IMPORTANT. BUT, THE PATIENT IS IMPORTANT TOO.
