I relate to this because my family, my dad's gf has me gaslighted right now and I'm over it... having a terrible time not speaking to my dad because of her and to have this in my career sounds hellish... I pray for the people dealing with this daily for their well being and for the minds to stay sound. No wonder this is the generation of mental illness... with all the gaslighting and the untreated narcissists running around, we are all susceptible to madness.
It's not always a total corkscrew of torture, but most people get a crucible at least once in their careers. This happens in many other work environments also, of course. Being able to notice and stand up to these tactics in a calm and rational manner is a hard-won ability. But hey, there are always options, and overall I veer towards optimistic. We can either wallow or swim! ๐๐โโ๏ธ
