Is it abuse?

[Shadowseal]

I’ve left a (time frame removed by moderator) relationship after the realisation my ex is a n********t. I’ve been gaslit and made to feel like I’m the one with the problem. Is it abuse if there’s no violence?

Absolutely abuse does not have to be physical. The verbal can hurt just as much the control the gaslighting it messes with your head like nothing ever will I hope ur ok x

Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse. My ex gaslit me constantly, during arguments and even normal conversations where he was adamant that I’d said or done something I hadn’t.

Well done for leaving, it can be so hard. Remember to keep trusting yourself and don’t let them convince you of things that aren’t true.

Yes it’s called emotional abuse, a form of abuse. Gaslighting is intended to make you think your in the wrong because it happens when you say the truth or when you stand up for yourself, so he doesn’t like his power and control being tested by you stating the truth /not falling for his twisted storeies/b******t so they use this very cleverly to make you think your wrong. E. G.’ I didn’t say that’, when they clearly did. Master manipulators. It can start to work on you unfortunately because they keep doing it so then you start to think you are wrong and sometimes you can fall for it. You need to go out of there before you go insane because I did go insane I was close to just leaving this world as this person twisted me so much in the head..
