Amy Hill - Ep. 29.3 - Being a single mom, I wanted to do what was best for them, and for me.

Divorce: The First Six Months with Peter Maestrey

In this episode, Amy explains a bit more about what it looks like to be gaslighted. She shares how you simply don’t know, especially if the other person provides positive reinforcement that has you believe it will be okay. She gives us personal examples that explain what it looked like for her, what she went through, and how she persevered. At the time she was not aware of the psychological abuse or what gaslighting was. She also shares how her ex was masterful at it, which was why she remained in the relationship.

This episode has plenty of insights, but my personal takeaway was how she explains her situation. She looks at it from today's perspective and can see all the red flags, and she explains it in a manner very easy to learn from. This is a great episode to become related to what happens when you are with someone who is gaslighting you or being emotionally abusive. It informs you of what it looks like from the perspective of someone who was abused, has identified it, and is now thriving.
