[QUOTE="Stretchedthin, post: 414430, member: 11413"] Gaslighting is a term that is used in another forum that I have been in for adult children of people with narcissistic personality disorder. The person keeps telling you that things that obviously are true aren't. You just saw them kick the dog, but they swear they don't know why it's crying. They swear that you did things that you know nothing about. The house is on fire and filling up with smoke, but they say that they don't know what you're talking about. Do your difficult child's do this? Mine does. All day. It's like talking to a crazy person or something. I get accused and lied to incessantly. If she does something bad, she insists that I did it. If her plans don't work out, it must be my fault. If I say that it's cold outside, it's hot. I find it alarming that she's doing this, day in and day out, at the age of 11. It's not the same as lying to avoid being in trouble. It's a manipulative thing to just mess with your head, I think. Is this an ODD thing? Please say it is. I don't need a new problem... [/QUOTE]
