A close friend of mine married someone who was an expert at gaslighting her. I visited her for a week and witnessed him break down her confidence to the point of tears. In that week, he called her crazy, confused, and immature — all in my presence no less. One evening, we were having dinner. She and I were talking about politics when her husband interrupted us and said, “You’re both in over your heads. You don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
