I grew up with a lot of gaslighting around me and thought it was quite normal until April 26, 2016. I remember that day well. It was the day I got off of the phone with the love of my life and knew I would never speak to him again. I made a promise to myself that I would never put up with anyone not giving a shit about how I feel, what I think or believe. I refuse to put up with anyone trying to make me question myself, calling me crazy for setting a boundary or trying to make me believe that what I hear and see is not real. Gaslighting is a way to control and manipulate a narrative for one individual or the masses. We have all been met with gaslighting at one time or another in our lives but we may not recognize it until it is too late. Have you ever had someone say you were too sensitive or overreacting to their disrespectful behavior? Perhaps they told you that you didn’t get an opinion because they helped out in a tough situation at one point and you owe them. You didn’t allow someone to speak to you in a rude or manipulative manner, so there has to be something wrong with you or the way you think, right? If any this sounds familiar, you have probably been gaslit in the past and know someone that will probably do it again in the future. That is why I made that promise to myself. I realized at that moment the love of my life was one of them doing it to me and I had surrounded myself with a lot of that bullshit throughout my entire life. Not anymore. Once you see it for what it is, you cannot ignore it. Nor do you care to ignore it ever again. That brings me to Epstein.
The amount of gaslighting bullshit I have witnessed over the past few days about the Epstein file is absolutely exhausting not to mention disappointing and appalling. The President of the United States has engaged in gaslighting people to think this is nothing. It is not nothing. It does not take a PhD in psychology to figure out that he is a malignant narcissist and incapable of seeing anything wrong with his actions or the words that come out of that rancid anus mouth of his. I don’t trust malignant narcissists or their gaslighting bullshit.
Hearing him speak reflects what I have been listening to and enduring almost my entire life except for the last nine years because I will be damned if I break that promise to myself for another narcissist. Anyone familiar with the effects of gaslighting will tell you that it will not serve you well and at some point, you must accept that these people do not have your best interest in mind. They are trying to deflect so it will take the focus away from what is really happening. Whatever that ugly truth may be. If there is any fallout of their actions, it will always be blamed on someone else. It will NEVER be their fault. They will throw people under the bus, leave people in their wake and not look back. If someone goes down from the wake, they will not care. I see and hear the gaslighting and I am not buying it.
What we are being told about Epstein is to keep a lot of people in power out of the spotlight and to help them stay in power. Do not stop talking about Epstein. Do not let people gaslight others into thinking this is nothing. It has always been something with a huge cover-up that spans the globe; not just the United States. Young girls are being hurt and used as some sort of political pawns. I grew up in a family that covered up two people that did unspeakable things to the girls in the distant family that carries the same last name I do. One was a Baptist preacher, and the distant family covered it up to save face for the church and the family name. I was followed into a bathroom by one of them at three years old and did not remember until I was nineteen. When I remembered, the gaslighting commenced and told to forget about it. I remember being told on several occasions that it just happened once, so why not just let it go already. Apparently trying to heal and talk about was me just trying to get attention and no one was interested and was tired of hearing about it. These things are not done in the best interest of the victims. These things are done to cover it up for these fucking sorry ass excuses for men and to keep some of names of people clean. All the while the victims suffer because others aren’t strong enough to speak up.
I have lived this shit my entire adult life and it makes me sick that I am seeing it on the national screen. There are people out there willing to cover it up and then talk about saving and doing their best for children. Put these mother fuckers behind bars and let them rot. I don’t care what side of the aisle they are on, what church they go to or what movie they have been in. Take them all down and help young girls out there.
We come forward but have to endure the victim blaming and shaming when we do and get treated like absolute shit! End it now! Keep talking about Epstein and do not let this get swept under the rug!
That is my rant for the day! Have a great Taco Tuesday!
