[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 756280, member: 24254"] It's funny, not funny, that both of my DCs have accused us of gaslighting them when I see from these posts which describe eerily similar situations to the ones I experienced that it was my children gaslighting me!!! We were told we had been abusive. The examples used were ridiculous. Normal situations where parents lost their cool ON RARE occasions - just like what happens with every parent. We are not saints . We are humans. I was told I was a narcissist and had the emotional level of a child. I beat myself up over all this for a long time. Then I stopped accepting blame and attacks and accusations. I just put my hand up and walk away. I refuse to be labeled especially by adult children who have not had children of their own yet. [/QUOTE]
