It is beyond frustrating. It's maddening. It's very, very hard. I no longer do this work because I couldn't take it. Aspiring lawyers often imagine a fight of good vs. evil. There are cases like that. Then sometimes it's evil vs. evil, or psycho self-destruction vs. evil.
A lot of mental health workers say their least favorite patients are the ones with borderline personality disorder. They have a diabolical genius for driving other people berserk. A lot of victims of domestic violence have this condition, and it makes it so hard to represent their interests. They will come up with the most creative ways to sabotage your work.
