Gaslighting,
It doesn’t just create confusion.
It can also erode your confidence in yourself.

Believing survivors means listening without judgment, honoring their experiences, and trusting that they know their own lives best.

Survivors should never have to prove their pain to deserve compassion, safety, or support.

Sometimes believing a survivor means believing something that is difficult to hear—or something you wish weren’t true. But our discomfort should never become another barrier a survivor has to overcome.

Listen. Believe. Support. Stand with survivors.

Because believing survivors is more than words—it is an act of solidarity, dignity, and safety.

Ugh. Walking on eggshells...always worrying about their mood, what you should or shouldn't do/say. It's exhausting and no way to live. https://carolineabbott.com/2018/08/are-you-being-abused/
