Title: Circular drama and gaslighting Post by: ViciousCircle on March 21, 2023, 04:47:28 AM My partner has never contributed to the house and a Men's mental health charity suggested I change the locks and allow children to stay or go if they wish.
I have had to deal with increasing episodes of partner creating what I class as emotionally unstable episodes and our teen daughter is mimicking these. My pre teen son without prompting points out he can see the situation. I feel in openness that impartial family Councillor would highlight areas of improvement for all family members, of course this is like asking a vampire to donate blood. The last gaslighting I have requested social services to Intervene and as no physical violence they are not interested, however teens school are prepared to try and provide guidance. My issues are 1) my son and I don't deserve the outbursts 2) refusing to see a Councillor enables situation to continue 3) flying monkeys will blame me if I change locks and Insidiously make situation harder My partner after episode will not acknowledge / defend or apologise for behaviour-however outrageous the behaviour once the episode has finished- it is irrelevant. |
