You know....this is my take....gas lighting sounds manipulative and intentional.

My experience though is more that I was dished what they experienced...more like passing the buck. The dif was, they weren’t DID as where I was, so what they dealt with was deemed normal everyday life craap, but to me it was traumatic and life destroying.

Sorry if I’m way off base and topic, but this has triggered recollections of where many people innocently tell me it wasn’t that bad. Was it? To me it was horrendous and mine splitting....but to a normal... Nothing but a thing?

To discredit me out of contemp is one thing, but to discredit me out of blindness based on previous personal experience of a normal person’s objectiveness....I hold them forgiven for ignorance.
