Gaslighting, projections and Denies my Reality - His old habits

[Abigail.2025]

It's his gaslighting!  It's his narcissistic projection! It's his invalidating my reality!
It drives me up the wall.
After years of unexplained illness, I've finally discovered that I may have a name for what is causing my illness and a way to treat it.
And how does my PD-husband responds?
First, he denies my reality, outright—making me second-guess myself and doubt my ability to manage my own health.
Second, like always, he turns the conversation around and makes it about him. He insists that we—meaning him and me (because in his world, I'm just an extension of him)—don't have this disease.
And now, more than ever, I understand why his ex-wife and children have chosen to cut ties with him. He never respected their reality, their individuality nor their ability to take care of themselves.

So sorry to hear that you are dealing with this, Abigail. Gaslighting can really make your head spin.

I am glad to hear that you are getting close to a diagnosis, sometimes just being able to name what we are going through is such a relief.

Sending you strength, and wishing you good health, as you deal with all of this.
