My Experience with gaslighting
by Diane Pavlat StrongHearts
Native Helpline
I was pregnant with our first
child when I drove my husband to
the doctor’s office. He said that he
broke his ankle when he jumped
down from the back of his truck
and rolled his foot. The nurse came
in and examined his ankle. She ex-
plained that the break likely oc-
curred when the other man in the
altercation kicked him. Tears rush-
ing to my eyes, the nurse looked at
me and said, “Don’t worry, he’s
going to be fine.”
My tears were not for his well-
being and he knew it. They were
for the instant betrayal I felt when
I realized he had lied to me. Little
did I know the extent to which his
lies would permeate every aspect
of our lives.
What is gaslighting?
A common technique of abus-
ers, dictators, narcissists and cult
leaders alike, “gaslighting” is an
abuse tactic in which a person gains
power by making a victim ques-
tion reality. Abusers refuse respon-
sibility for any wrongdoing and in-
stead blame their victim. It is of-
ten difficult for victims to recog-
nize the abuse.
ADHD and Gaslighting: I
live with ADHD, or Attention
Deficit Hyperactive Disorder. This
is a neurodevelopmental disorder
that causes the person to have
trouble paying attention (to details)
and controlling impulsive behaviors
like shopping. A person with
ADHD often forgets or loses
things. They have a hard time re-
sisting temptation and tend to take
unnecessary risks. I’ve learned,
these traits are exploitable.
According to Dr. Stephanie
Sarkis, people suffering this disor-
der are especially vulnerable to a
person with a narcissistic person-
ality, one who tends to be selfish
with a sense of entitlement. A nar-
cissist has an inflated ego with a
deep need for attention and admi-
ration. Dr. Sarkis describes the
gaslighter as a constant liar and
master of deception. They deny
wrongdoing and use what is near
and dear to you as ammunition.
In my case, my abuser became
excessively jealous of our son. He
treated him poorly and at times,
put him in harm’s way. He did it
to spite me, to scare me and to
show me that in his household, he
was in control.
He even admitted when our
son was just six months old that
he was starting to hate him because
I loved him so much.
He said it was unfair that his
own mother didn’t love him like I
loved our son. At the time, I was
busy being a mom and didn’t see
it as a manipulation meant to gar-
ner my attention.
They called me crazy
Gaslighters are masters at ma-
nipulation and finding the people
they know will stand by them no
matter what, such as a parent.
They turn people against you. You
may start to doubt who to trust
and that’s exactly what the
gaslighter wants because isolating
you gives them more control.
They tell you and/or others that
you are crazy. This is one of the
most effective tools of the
gaslighter. The gaslighter knows if
they question your sanity, people will
not believe you when you tell them
the gaslighter is abusive. I didn’t
know that his family called me,
“Crazy,” but in retrospect, it was
crazy to love a man who could in
one breath make me feel like no
else mattered and in the next like I
wasn’t worth a dime. (Read more

Bombing and Devaluing in the full

Food for the soul and recovery:
Over time, a victim of
gaslighting may start to believe that
they cannot trust themselves, or
that they have a mental health dis-
order. They may have anxiety, de-
pression, isolation, confusion and
psychological trauma.
The long-ter m impact on
someone’s mental health and self-
esteem is often devastating but
there are ways to cope.
Recovering from gaslighting
takes time. Victims should never
blame themselves. You are not re-
sponsible for the abusive behavior.
For me, my healing takes place
when I travel to distant places and
see beautiful things. I call it food
for the soul. I find peace in my vis-
its to the Redwoods in northern
California. The trees have lived for
more than a thousand years. My
ancestors—who were once free to
roam the continent—saw these very
same trees.
I feel whole when standing among
the Redwoods of Stout Grove.
Find food for your soul. Prac-
tice listening to your thoughts, feel-
ings. Learn to trust your instincts
again.
