Abusers often hide behind confusion — denying intent, twisting reality, and framing your hurt as an overreaction. What starts as a simple disagreement turns into you questioning your memory, your emotions, and your sanity.
I share how this pattern plays out in everyday moments, from small promises broken to emotional gaslighting that keeps survivors trapped in cycles of guilt and self-doubt.
If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I don’t even know what’s real anymore,” this episode will help you understand why — and remind you that what you feel is valid, even when someone insists it’s not.
