Published 15 hours ago
Description
She had the messages. She had the dates. He looked at the screen and calmly told her she was remembering it wrong. A first-person story about gaslighting: being talked out of your own memory until you stop trusting it.
The word "gaslighting" comes from the 1938 stage play Gas Light by Patrick Hamilton and the films made from it. It is now widely used to describe attempts to make someone doubt their own perception. This is a story, not a diagnosis. If you are worried about your safety, contact local emergency services or a domestic violence helpline.
This is a fictional composite story told in the first person. Names, places and events are invented and do not describe any real person.
