Does anyone here have Gaslighting to contend with?

Was talking with friends yesterday and this seems a familiar theme...

Not only do the Skids try the Gaslighting but often enough the BioParent will step up to the plate to rally and support....the skid.

I had never heard this term before, it all began to make sense, sense of what was happening to me and my life, sense of why wife number upped and left him and the children.

LOL dtzy, that is pure GOLD!

Alas, I have never ever had that pleasure....whilst they have been caught out lying to their father, he hasn't been brainy enough to see anything else they are doing, like gaslighting him to believe things about me, you see they do like me, they just don't like my rules.

BLERK

Love you too, great minds really do think alike! Smile

I learnt disengagement here...it's been helpful, but it's not enough anymore

Nah, didn't work fully for me either, I think when the venom is AIMED at you and yours disengagement is not an option.

We always did have that twin thing going on LOL
