Unseen Scars: My Journey Through Gaslighting and Parental Abuse

Growing up, I faced relentless manipulation and abuse from my parents, particularly my father, who gaslit me into questioning my reality. Despite my efforts to expose his behavior, their campaign to label me as "crazy" with fabricated diagnoses like ADHD and borderline personality disorder left me unheard and isolated. Now, as an adult, I’m reclaiming my truth, sharing how their actions led to lasting mental scars and a diagnosis of Reactive Attachment Disorder that went untreated. Writing this is my step toward healing and helping others know they’re not alone.
