Glad you're here! It's total denial. TOTAL denial. And yeah, I think your analysis is 100% correct. She can't really face or own the truth. Too horrible, especially if you take the next step after that - which is - the part you played in enabling it, reinforcing and covering for it, excusing it, ignoring it, and sticking your fingers into your ears and shouting "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!" You have to dehumanize and minimize this beast's accusers and the TRUE victims here, in order to prop up your myopic little world view. The truth is just too horrible to face. So you make it go away, in sheer defense. You push it off on somebody else and pretend like hell that this other person is the villain.

NOBODY likes to admit they were wrong. NOBODY likes to admit they've been fooled. NOBODY likes to admit they've been played. Or suckered. 'Cause - what does that say about you, then? And I'd bet she's cussed him out, to herself, in private. But man - let somebody else do it and she'll come at that person with machine guns and napalm.
