I'm sorry you are the midst of this difficult, confusing situation. What you wrote reminded me of the concept of "gaslighting". Here are links to 5 articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject of gaslighting, it's harmful effects, & how to deal with it plus links to 2 articles on the subject of addiction:

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
