Gaslighting is sustained psychological manipulation that causes the victim to question or doubt their sanity, judgement and memories.

When typing in “what is…” to google this is one of the top questions that pop up for our area right now. Gaslighting can be done to someone by their parents, their friends, or by someone they are in a romantic relationship with.

When someone is gaslighting you, you often second-guess yourself, your memories, and your perceptions. After communicating with the person gaslighting you, you are left feeling dazed and wondering if there is something wrong with you (verywellmind.com). Typically, this person is trying to control you.

What to do? Recognize every time this is happening to you and stay strong in what you know to be true. Say that you know they just twisted your words, or whatever fits the situation better.
