Gaslighted

Several years ago I saw a movie called "Gaslight". It was made in 1944 and it's about a woman whose husband manipulates her into thinking she's crazy. The little things he did to push her to doubt herself and question her own feelings and intelligence felt so familiar.  As I watched the movie I began to see my father in the character of the husband. I understood more about how he'd manipulated me to get what he wanted. My teddy bear became one of the best tools he used to unbalance me.
