I remember reading a story by a young woman here on Medium. She clearly had been gaslighted, and repeatedly. While I absolutely can relate, know what it feels like, I think what’s so important is that we realize at some point that it has little to nothing to do with us personally (at least mostly) and far more to do with someone else’s sucking need to control. And, hurt, and damage, for whatever sick reasons it makes them feel more in control of what is out of control in their own lives. I have no idea if that just made sense. Sometimes I see where folks are angry but unwilling to do the work to set boundaries. I’ve been there too. But at some point, to your article, we have to realize we’re giving our power away. That’s an overly simplistic way to put it, but in the long run that is what we’re doing.
