How to help someone who is being Gas Lighted

[user1476829270]

I have a dear friend who means the world to me. Over a period of 10years (maybe more) she has been Gas Lighted by her daughter. The situation is so out of control she no longer knows her own mind, will lie to protect her daughters behaviour, can not see that her daughter is negatively affecting her relationships with her dearest family member. It’s so sad. I made the mistake of calling the daughter out, which has made me the latest target. Any advice to help a dear friend would be very much appreciated

I hear you OP. Sometimes you want to so desperately force the person in question to acknowledge what’s happening but unfortunately the people less susceptible to help are those that are in denial. It’s best to Just try and reach out to the family member who it is affecting if you are able to and let them know you understand their plight.
