on being gaslighted (gaslit?)

This is a huge technique with pathologicals.

I've found that sometimes they are very aware they are doing it and sometimes not. Remember a Narc "makes up" their "reality" as they are going along. It's mind bending. They not normal and I don't believe they are truly even human (they just look that way).

exNH was so frustrating. He'd swear "I NEVER said that" or "I NEVER did that." One day I followed him around with a voice activated recorder and when I played it back at Marriage Counselor he ranted and swore I "doctored the tape."

When I left in my new place I have locks on my bedroom door so when he comes over to get the kids if I am busy elsewhere in the home he can't go in. Once he said "what are you going to do if the house burns down and your bedroom's locked and I am the only one here?" (WTF?) Anyway, I said "well that will all burn down too." He was stunned.

Psycho-Boy? now that was another matter. A much more twisted one, too.

After he was exposed he went around telling a time bending story, with a lot of embellishment and all his hookers, porn, sex addiction stuff conveniently left out. All tailored to make him look like the victim. If he SAYS it - and SAYS it LONG enough and LOUD enough - you MUST believe it's TRUTH. (NOT!!!!)

Here's my story.

Here's what this ass put on his blog, later erased! when he saw I had HARD EVIDENCE posted - and he also forgot that NOTHING EVER DIES ON THE INTERNET. moron.

When you have EVIDENCE on them? You are the devil incarnate in their book... boy talk about projection.

really now...

I'm very validated through this post. VERY much what my sis would do. Thanks for this ;)

Gaslighting

I enjoy the movie but not having it done to me. At times during our relationship he would even admit to doing things to his ex wife or siblings to make them crazy. More red flags that I conveniently filed away but came in handy when things started happening to me. Like my bag of paper recycling disappearing from the front of my house before the sanitation guys came around, this happened a couple of times. Or pizzas being delivered to my house that I didn't order. Then my cable company kept showing up saying that I set an appointment for service; this happened a few times until the service rep suggested setting a password for the account.
