Gaslighting can sound like someone constantly rewriting what happened, dismissing your feelings, or turning the blame back on you.

Gaslighting is NOT okay! 🚫

If you find yourself second guessing your memory or apologizing for things that are not your fault, pause. Take a breath. Trust yourself.

Healthy relationships are built on respect, not confusion!

☎️ If you or someone you know is in harm, help is available!

Love is Respect:
