I have only seen part of the film and we sometimes have to protect ourselves from certain triggers .I suppose this can bring us mixed feelings: a sense of remote support for shared experience along with reminders of our abusers.
I feel that gaslighting is very trivialised in our culture generally and by helpers too who often have never heard of this evil tactic.
It is sometimes crazy-making when a grown son or daughter shows evidence of brainwashing by the abuser.Over time I have kept quiet about my ex’s prolonged mental abuse to be a good mother ,thinking of their mental health.I almost exploded with outrage recently when my son told me (meaning his dad) that he is a nice guy!!!?* This is not true at all and I chose not to comment due to shock anger and the desire not to lose my temper.When I heard this one I nearly fell off the sofa!I wonder how common this is in families? I experienced this comment as another torture method as if my ex anticipated the future chat with my son in the knowledge that it would leave me demented.He has had experience of doing this for years relying on my maternal honest care in keeping his cruelty quiet from our youngsters.What an outrage that evil can pose as an angel of light to be interpreted as “nice”. Maybe time will unravel these wicked abusers and leave us in peace.
