I've seen other versions of this same story but I feel this one did a better job of highlighting the pure gaslighting that Dan did to Betty. I really do think this was a case of insanity. Divorce can drive people crazy but having one person be a lawyer themselves and know all the judges and know how to work this system is very unfair and lead to her despair. I wish both of them had been better people.

The other season features Debra Newell and John Meehan and is interesting because it plays out so much the same for many people.
