Here we are at another May Day and that means Mental Health Awareness month!  We all need to be sure we are living as healthfully as possible, and that includes paying attention to our noggin –  heads.

Gaslighting is when a person is being manipulated by psychological means into questioning their own sanity. Here’s an example:

You know you did the dishes.  You turned on the dishwasher and you heard it run.  But, the narcissist comes home and pulls a dish out of the dishwasher.  It’s dirty.

“Why didn’t you turn on the dishwasher?” says the narcissist.

“I did,” says the co dependent.

“No you didn’t!  This dish is dirty,” says the narcissist.

You know you did the job.  Yeah, you probably missed one.  Now the narcissist gets so upset and insists that you take every dish out – hand wash them again and run the dishwasher because you didn’t do it in the first place.   So remember…
