Mental Health Crisis: Revealed – They Are Gaslighting Me and Destoying My Resolve: A Personal Account of Emotional Abuse (English)
Tags: Gaslighting, Emotional Abuse, Mental Health Crisis, Psychological Manipulation, Relationships, Trauma, Broken Resolve, Emotional Trauma, Mental Health Awareness
In a shocking exposé, a victim of long-term emotional abuse has courageously come forward to share a harrowing account of mental manipulation, revealing the heart-wrenching consequences of gaslighting.
(Source: [Name not disclosed], a survivor’s story)
The accused, a person with no regard for the victim’s well-being, has mercilessly exploited their trust by engaging in a relentless scheme of psychological manipulation. The cunning tactics employed by this ruthless individual have left the innocent victim reeling from an emotional maelstrom of confusion, self-doubt, and utter disillusionment.
Gaslighting: A Master of Deception
The modus operandi of these cunning manipulators involves projecting their own insecurities, fears, and guilt onto the victim, often resorting to lies, lies, and more lies, to maintain control and assert superiority. The victim is consequently left questioning their own memories, sanity, and rationality, as they reel from the constant barrage of deceitful statements.
"As they gaslighted me, I began to mistrust my own thoughts. I felt like I had lost my grip on reality. I was tormented by the constant lies and half-truths… I felt like I had become a prisoner in a never-ending nightmare."
-(Anonymous)
Breaking The Silence
This harrowing account serves as a loud and clear warning to every individual who has ever known the agony of being exploited by a gaslighting partner, family member, or friend. The signs of gaslighting might be subtle, but their impact can be devastating: loss of self-confidence, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, and the emotional exhaustion that comes with maintaining a facade of sanity while trapped in a toxic vortex.
Raising Awareness
It is imperative we break the silence surrounding the devastating effects of gaslighting. By sharing your own stories and supporting one another, we can prevent the erosion of self-doubt and create safe spaces for those affected.
Take Action
In the face of such unspeakable cruelty, survivors must band together and insist on accountability. Together, we can create a society more compassionate and understanding, committed to protecting the well-being of all individuals, victimized by the heinous tactics of gaslighters.

I just need to vent, maybe others have had this happen too.
So, I had to flee the church for my own safety. I left to another country outside of the Philippines but my departure wasn't final yet. In order to finalize my departure, I converted to another religion, the religion of my parents actually. However, I left behind my married family including my wife and kids. The problem is, my wife and family in the Philippines are hard core INC, and high ranking minister family also.
When I first told my wife I didn't believe anymore, it caused a huge problem with our marriage. Basically, she gave me an ultimatum that if I leave the church, I am leaving her as well. The funny thing is I could tell the love was lost, but she didn't care. I needed to stay in the church or else, even if we were miserable. Even so, I didn't believe her threats because we had many years of love before, how could she so easily leave that alone. So I was completely and utterly disappointed that when I told her I did actually leave the church, she told me that I was leaving her and my kids. This resulted in hysterical crying and very shortly after, I got spammed by a minister, now it's getting scary. Justifying my resolve for leaving the country. See my other post for background information.
Here is my rant. Right now I am being treated as though I was the one who ended the marriage. I fled the church, not my wife or kids. Why does a church have to be tied to a marriage?? Was it ever love if you are so easily able to give up a marriage just because I left a church? Am I a horrible person for doing all this? Her wife's family have been spamming me non stop. All they want is for me to return to the church. Not return to my wife necessarily, but return to the church. They don't care if I love her, they just want to have everything appear normal. The thing is, it's funny. When I first broke the news, they were all over the place, but their tone now appears so "business". As if it's not about love or the marriage, but purely an effort to control me.
I hate this church. It's doctrine is poison to marriages. I can't stand this..it's eating me alive still. I have a knowledge now of the true nature of Jesus. So I am continuing to pray.

// Was it ever love if you are so easily able to give up a marriage just because I left a church? Am I a horrible person for doing all this? //
Should it surprise you? Remember that organization believes that all non members are automatically condemned to hell fire.
So Yes, you are immediately on the side of Satan when you left that cult and mafia.
// Not return to my wife necessarily, but return to the church //
Perhaps you gave lots of money and they see that you will be a big loss for them as one of the most lucrative milking cows.
Just leave that “church” if your wife does not love you because you left then separate with her. have self respect.
You will die if you stopped drinking and eating but you will still live if you became single again.
And what you are doing is right.
When you are in tribulation, you really have to pray:
James 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray.
