  Gaslighting

  http://www.daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com/gaslighting.html

  Gaslighting is a strange-sounding term which refers to the way in which abusers such as Narcissistic Mothers lie to you, by word or deed, intentionally or not intentionally, to convince you that your version of reality is not right.

  The phrase comes from the 1940's filmGaslight, in which an abusive husband deliberately dims the gaslights in the house, but when his wife comments on it he tells her she's imagining it, that the lights never dimmed at all.

  Gaslighting is one of the most insiduous, viscious, nasty and effective forms of emotional and psychological abuse.

  It can make the victim feel as if she's going crazy. If your perceptions of reality are constantly denied, and above all, denied by your mother, the person you look up to and who you think knows everything, it is very, very head-wrecking and crazy-making. (This is why I called my bookYou're Not Crazy, because that's so essential to know.)

  This gaslighting can be done deliberately, as in the example from the film above, in order to make you go crazy.Malignant Narcissistswould be prone to doing this.
  
  Or the crazy-making can just be a side-effect and the gaslighting is done in order to preserve the Narcissistic Mother's vision of herself as perfect, without her actually having to do any of the hard stuff that would make her perfect.
  
  I wrote aboutmy weddingand how my mother never gave me any compliment, but swears blind, shouting it, that she did. This is gaslighting.

  She didn't deliberately say to me on the day, "Pity you look so ugly," and then deny it - that would be the act of a Malignant Narcissist.

  But she was too self-absorbed and self-centred to say anything nice to me AND she was too convinced of her own wonderful motherness to even entertain the possibility that she wouldn't have said anything nice to me, so she re-wrote history to make that that she did.

  It's impossible for non-narcissists to get into the mind of narcissists, so I have no idea if this is right: But my best guess is that in her mind it's a case of: "A wonderful mother would have told her daughter she looked lovely, and I am a wonderful mother, therefore I would have/must have said it, and if Danu says differently she must be mistaken".
  
  Gaslighting is also insiduous because so many of a Narcissistic Mother's cruelties are small ones. Any particular example of them can be dismissed as just a thoughtless word, and we're all thoughtless sometimes.

  But her cruelties add up to death by a thousand cuts, and if you're trying to reason with her (which, don't bother doing. But until you realise this ...) and you're using previous examples of the same cruelty in an attempt to show a pattern - well, it won't work because she will simply deny that the previous examples happened.

  Another form of gaslighting is the denial of your right to be upset. In this case the Narcissist might accept that the situation happened, but willinvalidate youby vehemently denying that there was anything untoward about it, or any valid reason to get upset.

  You might like to check out ourNarcissistic Mother-English Dictionary for (a sometimes funny) look at what Narcissistic Mothers actually mean when they say things.

  You might aso find the film/movieGaslightto be interesting. It clearly (and chillingly) shows exactly how gaslighting works.

  I abhore shunning. I will say this. I have some facial recognition problem that i always thought was a learning disability. Somewhere along the spectrum of....i dunno...visual auditory learning disabilities. (so i may be percieved as aloof or shunning when i simply can't remember where i saw the person.)

  But i can't recognize a face, or have a very hard time with it, if i'm not in the same context as i saw the person. If you put me in the same PLACE, I can recognize the person and remember a conversation. I can't remember faces if I see somebody two different places....

  I've heard of other people who can see a face one time. And never forget anything about the person based on that one meeting. That's not me.

  Fading hurts so much!!

  by ILoveTTATT in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yet another update on my story:.

  for various reasons, i still have to go to all meetings.

  (i am looking to change my personal circumstances to allow me to live somewhere else so i can fade easier)... i actually don't mind going to the mid-week meeting since i can comment on the bible reading, and slowly but surely i can introduce little seeds of cognitive dissonance... making it seem like i am super interested in what the interlinear says or that people can actually go and check out the manuscripts for themselves online!

  The faithful and discreet slave's proctologist

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we are told we cannot sit down with the bible and discover the "truth" because we need the faithful and discreet slave's channeled knowledge.. so, logically, if we can't get the truth from the bible we are getting it from the slave who isn't getting from the bible.. where is the faithful and discreet slave getting the truth?.

  see the topic title for your answer.. yes, the proctologist sees the real channel of communication the watchtower society has!.

  they are pulling it of their ass..

  Interesting experience while protesting at district conventions

  by theron ware in

  2. experiences

  for three weekends this summer, a friend and i protested outside district assemblies being held in the tucson convention center.

  our approach was very low key and completely non-confrontational: we just held our posters and smiled.

  this was our experience at the first two assemblies (for the third assembly, see the next paragraph).

  If you were to protest an Assembly what would you put on your placard ?

  by Finkelstein in

  since this topic of protesting assemblies recently came up, i was wondering .

  what would be the some of the most proficient and perhaps strongest message.

  to place on a placard to show as the people arrived at the venue.

  I've contemplated sitting out and playing my piano as protest. But i think it's a waste of time trying to talk to jehos. It's all about placating them and who has time for that nonsense.

  last week's watchtower study related an experience of a sister who prayed that god would help her with her rent.

  she needed $66 dollars.

  she went to her waitressing job on an off night and would you believe?
