growing up with a narcissistic gaslighting parent consisted of just listening to them spin the story to get you to doubt yourself and back down from defending your truth.
this is why being gaslit and silenced triggers me so much. ive been talking about it lately because it’s been happening to me on a weekly basis and it’s so frustrating.
literally when i say as a child ... i was silenced and made out to be a terrible person for speaking up and speaking my truth... i mean that. people, including one of my parents, would literally just spin shit on me.
the most frustrating part is these peoples ability to still have supporters, friends and people who LOVEEEE them and just can’t see their disgusting behavior? they’re able to play a role so well and typically use passive energy or positivity against me.
so if you saw my interaction today.. i’m not gonna front and pretend like it didn’t hurt. as someone who STILL experiences this abuse, to see it done on a platform really fucking sucks. it’s so shitty. and i was told to keep my grievances on my own TL so that’s what i’m doing.
