THE ONES WHO REALLY GET UNDER YOUR SKIN

Gaslighters in Your Family

AS YOU’VE LEARNED IN OTHER CHAPTERS, GASLIGHTERS SHARE A LOT of similar behaviors. However, there is something about gaslighters in our families that make them some of the most exasperating ones to deal with. They have some particular characteristics and tricks in their toolbox, as you’ll see. Also, our histories and emotional ties with these people mean we often can’t just get away from them so easily, especially when we’re young. And even later on, they’re often present during holidays, family reunions, and they may live near you. They can be like a constant festering sore. And they usually know exactly what buttons to push to get you going—and they thrive off the ensuing chaos. You may have noticed these issues with gaslighters in your family.

“My stepdad gaslights my mom all the time. He says stuff to her, and then will say, ‘No, I never said that.’ I’ll tell my mom I heard exactly what he said the first time, but now she’s telling me I just don’t like him and I’m trying to drive them apart. I can’t stand it.”
