[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 653223, member: 17635"] Totally agree. Learned the term on this forum and oh, boy---have husband and I experienced it. We hear from difficult child less and less, but a couple weeks ago, he posted on a forum (about my brother who recently experienced a freak accident that kinda went viral). The things difficult child posted were [B]Unbelievable[/B]. It was 100% untrue. He listed 5 or 6 travesties we had dealt him. [I]Hey "mom", do you remember[/I] was the way he started. One referred to a friend who was awaiting surgery (He did have a high school friend in a bad accident, so that part was true). Supposedly, husband and I brought in a [B]stranger [/B]"when time was of the essence". It made not one lick of sense. Like the surgeons would wait on us so we could bring in this [I]stranger[/I]???? husband and I have no memory of bringing in a stranger, duh. There were other eerily strange claims. His gas lighting used to be just annoying crap, but this time it got scary crazy. difficult child tried to make his uncle's very serious accident (in hospital 18 days, 4 of those in ICU) about himself. I think Gaslighting can be just irrational-thinking irritating. It can also get creepy. And, what can we do? He's 33yo. [/QUOTE]
