gaslighting

No, hun. You are not ‘too sensitive.’ But if your partner keeps saying that, you may be experiencing gaslighting.

Although I came out last year, I’ve spent the past year gaslighting myself.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse. It is defined as a way to manipulate someone to make them question their own sanity.

Don’t tell me kids don’t know how to work the system. If kids are old enough to be devastated about not having red patent-leather Mary Janes, kids are old enough to know that sometimes crying as if you’ve just flushed their living goldfish down the toilet, will get them red patent-leather Mary Janes.
