このコンテンツについて
In this week's episode, I read from two more letters - one from my sister, and one from my father. Together, they reveal the many layers of abuse my father used against my mother. Gaslighting, coercive control, contemp, manipulation - all forms of verbal abuse that, on the surface, didn't necessarily look like abuse at all. But more than twenty years later, when I read these words again, the evidence is undeniable. What once passed as concern or loving support is exposed for what it truly was. My father was playing the long game, using these tactics not just in a single argument, but over decades, wearing her down and undermining her resolve until, after thirty years of marriage, she was insecure, miserable, and struggling to break free of his mind games.
