I wished I'd seen the gaslighting thread. It's a fascinating topic.

It is fascinating...and frightening. I did not read the thread, but know more about it than I would rather admit.

I first heard the term as it relates to cheaters lying during infidelity. In that respect, it was explained to me that it was derived from the old movie "Gaslight."

Actually, it's horrifying and unforgivable when it happens to you. It truly makes you feel you've gone mad.

So like the other thread that's not here anymore is this about ""catfishing"" and being tricked?

If you're interested, TCM is airing Gaslight this next Sun night as part of their 31 Days of Oscar season. Excellent story & very well done. I believe it was Angela Lansbury's first film.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."
