Understanding Gaslighting
- Gaslighting is a complex, repeated abuse pattern that involves denying reality and then blaming the victim.
- It requires trust and persists over time, leading to self-blame and psychological imprisonment.
Handling Narcissistic Siblings
- Deal with narcissistic siblings by setting boundaries and practicing radical acceptance.
- Avoid confronting parents about the sibling and prepare for possible estrangement and family pushback.
Options Beyond Divorce
- Divorce is not the only option for relationships with narcissists; safety permitting, consider radical acceptance and personal boundaries.
- Cultivate social support, practice disengagement, and focus on authenticity to stay healthier if you stay.
