Hi crushed, I do find your posts helpful.

She would get upset about something someone else did in public or a behavior that I would do (i.e. being too loud, being dramatic, being annoying, being emotional, etc. -- the criticism would not stop). I would react, and then she would go after me. She would transfer her anger / unhappiness onto me. She gave me the silent treatment and then pretended like she wasn't, was taking space, or just thinking. These denials of her actions led to her gas-lighting me and acting like it was all in my head. In the times I was vulnerable, she projected insecurities onto me, manipulated me to the point of confusion, attacked my character, criticized me, and continuously tried to break me. By the end of just 3 weeks I significantly doubted who I was, even though I acted in the best intentions. In the end, I had to walk out of her room, leave, and not turn back.
