Yep it's abuse and has been acknowledged by the high court as such too
Gaslighting is a type of emotional or psychological abuse
If you google 'examples of gaslighting' it has a range of examples as it's quite broad!
Is everythig okay?? Do you feel like you're being gaslit?

Hi all
Many thanks for responding.
Does it apply in family situations.
I'm not in an intimate relationship.

Hi @hass. It doesn't have to be a partner, it can be anybody you interact with. If you'd feel more comfortable talking about this privately, you can email us at community@scope.org.uk to talk through any worries you have. No pressure, but we're here if you want to talk or ask anything.

Abuse can happen in any relationship- partner, family, friends, work colleagues, neighbours etc.
