Around a week ago,a manager sent a really shitty email. I flipped, mouthed off to my cats and had to walk away from my computer. Replied hours later in a pleasant but formal tone.

    A month ago, when my dad mocked my movements and voice while I was speaking to him. It was weird. And it wasn’t until later when confronted that he denied it ever happened and told me that I am seeing things.

    A tantrum and a couple hours later he admitted he did do all of it. I even started to doubt myself. Gah

    Gaslighting can be horribly confusing, especially when it's from someone important like our dad. It was a really shitty thing for him to do

    Thank you 🩷 Yes, it was so confusing. It helped that I could share it with my mum and she could relate to the it so much. I don’t think my dad does it on purpose— this mocking, it’s just .. part of him? I guess. Can’t wait to move out ^^

    Practically any time I use a computer product for more than an hour.

    If it's web-based it's closer to 10 minutes.

    Last time we experienced abuse, which is most days here.
