TW: abuse, violence
"I would try to talk to him about the blow ups and he would tell me I was being dramatic and crazy. He would say he was sorry and it wouldn't happen again. My son asked me 'mommy, why does daddy hurt you?' That is when I knew I had to leave."
Gaslighting is an extremely effective form of emotional abuse that causes a victim to question their own feelings, instincts, and sanity. For Luisa, she spent years feeling guilty for "blowing things out of proportion." It took her own son validating her feelings as a wake up call to realize the behavior was abusive. Luisa utilized Safehome's therapy and legal assistance programs and was able to work through her difficult feelings and began to heal.
Today, Luisa has reconnected with her family that she was estranged from because of her relationship. She is currently taking night classes to follow her passion in culinary arts.
