Ever seen one of those movies or made-for-tv flicks in which husband/boyfriend is the bad guy (bigamist, adulterer, serial killer, thief, drug addict, traitor, etc) yet he somehow manages to convince his poor suffering wife/girlfriend that her suspicions about him are merely delusions and she’s just picking on him? That’s Gaslighting from the movie Gas Light, an early example of the trope.
I’ll have to check it out. Thanks. Without even watching it, I think that’s what happened to me. I thought I was going insane.
So, basically a person accuses you of what they are engaging in?
“Ever seen one of those movies or made-for-tv flicks in which husband/boyfriend is the bad guy. . .”
It’s always the white male, conservative, religious, businessman. . .
