[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom used to beat me as a kid.  She would hit me over 40 times with belts, wooden spoons, and would throw items at me and then be mad at me for them breaking.  She called me stupid, ugly, said she wished I'd never been born, etc.  Once, after my ACL was repaired, she threw my AP biology and AP history books at my leg.  Things like that.  I could go on, but you get the point.

[b]My mom now likes to tell people that I bruise easily and that I make things up. [/b] Is this gaslighting?

I get annoyed when [b]my mom tells my husband how difficult I was as a kid[/b].  What did I do wrong?  I never smoked or drank.  I didn't party.  I studied and practiced all the time.  I walked myself to a nearby church and participated in the youth group.  I studied philosophy in an attempt to teach myself how to be a good person.

Anyway, is it gaslighting when my mom tells me that I bruise easily?  I don't bruise easily.  I haven't had a bruise since my last c-section 10 years ago.

These things might be true. Why do we need to assume otherwise. There is a possibility that you are lying, or have no concept that you can be in the wrong, ever.[/quote]
