Dear Homebird, welcome to this fantastic life saving forum!!!
You might find it helpful to look at this thread, ‘can anybody give any examples of gaslighting?’
There is also another thread, ‘its not right to walk on egg shells’…………..I will dig these two old threads out and post them. I also re posted a couple of old threads on Trauma Bonding which should also help you. In the meantime you might want to have a look at free to read on Amazon 30 Covert Manipulation Tactics in Personal Relationships.
