When it finally came to that, there was no turning back, as I didn’t want to be left with the costs incurred so far. But in the end, I see good chances of winning this thing. The judge also gave that impression.

You’re not serious? That means with every hour spent on a legal dispute, you could also be earning money for an hour? Then you are paying twice. Plus loss of income due to your self-inflicted health damage. Three times.
If, as you say, humans are created for inconsistency, then I must be the exception.
No!
You are the proof, not the exception.
You yourself write why: your physical health. Your mental state. You even admit to self-harm. Logical conclusion: you are not made for this either, because you are only human. And yet you do it anyway.
My family knows how I tick and doesn’t even try, after all they benefit from it.
Well, I would also put up with someone using their time, money, and health for my benefit.
Or rather: Would I?
Above I wrote the word “joyfully.” Because it is either masochism, i.e. pleasure in one’s own suffering, or a compulsion, because one compulsively can never let things lie. The latter you have actually already admitted yourself.

(I have to admit, the story about the car triggers me. That is completely off the charts of sanity. The issue with the house I understood much better).
