“And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.”

Matthew 10:36 (KJV)

("Man" -mankind-male and female)

As difficult as it is to imagine, there are people who deliberately attempt to drive you insane – literally. After many years of psychological torture, you may find yourself second – guessing who you really are. You spend your days apologizing to others – wishing that you had thicker skin. Being of the sensitive nature, those close to you treat your sensitivity like a dreaded disease. At times you may even hate yourself, and you have no idea why you feel this way.

Often times you make excuses to your family on behalf of your mate. You want everyone to get along, and your family to love your mate because you love him, or her. But in order to keep harmony during family gatherings, you lie. You lie about the violence, the verbal abuse, and you lie to yourself. And yet, you cannot understand why you aren’t as happy as you should be.

*******************************

If you ever walked away from a disagreement feeling unsteady and confused, you may have experienced “Gaslighting.” This is a form of psychological abuse often used to gain power and control.
