Bravo Nora!!! I was called crazy as a child and young adult by family, they all know what they were doing, just as she did as she called you crazy. It's sooooo great you called them out and despite the fact that they " won" in their minds, I believe there has to be one little molecule in their bodies that know it was cruel and they are cruel. Thank you!!!!
And I wept as I heard about Sinead O'Connor's death as her teenaged son had committed suicide about 18 months ago, that pain alone must have been unbearable and now I know she is bathed in love and free.
Your emotional vulnerability combined with your courage and determination to stand for love is ever inspiring to my heart Nora. Their gaslighting is par for the course, but it doesn't make it any less cruel, especially in a public forum. "They are crazy." Said immediately as you step down. "Oh no I didn't say that about you." Gaslighting to make you feel and look crazy. This is the narcissistic playbook page 1.
My mother recently threw my OCD symptoms in my face telling me I should have gotten psychiatric help for it 30 years ago. This, as she raged uncontrollably and violently at me. Her ex called her crazy for years and so she's regurgitating this in my direction now, rather than focus on her healing. This is a very damaging, belittling, and insidious word. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks for sharing Nora. Awesome that you called her on her bullshit and what she said and the other lady with the mirror. I love it when people are called out because normally they get away with being jerks because people don't stand up for themselves. I know the patriarchy is going down but it sure is a slow process with so many ups and downs. Which makes is so frustrating and hard to deal with while it is going on.
