Yes. They do that. It's called manipulation.

Honestly, I can tell you this. Every act of kindness, compassion or human decency on your part will be seized upon and exploited to this person's advantage. You are doing what you think is right because you have a moral code and want to do the right thing, etc, etc.

She doesn't care about any of that. All she sees in those actions on your part is weakness and opportunity.

I know how harsh this sounds, but I've seen all this play out. The next step will be spurious claims of criminal acts against her.
