[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 653480, member: 17542"] I know I was gaslighted a lot by my son when his addiction was at its most active state. My ex-husband did it too. I just remember trying to even have what I thought was a simple conversation about a problem, and ending up almost literally pulling my hair out with the severe frustration of it all. Circular talking, no attention to the topic, turning the conversation completely around, all kinds of crazy-making techniques. It kills trust and it kills love. I would rather be hit in the face with the awful truth anyway. [/QUOTE]
