Gaslighting on Wikipedia
Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which false information is presented to the victim with the intent of making them doubt their own memory and perception. It may simply be the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, or it could be the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim. Gaslighting had a colloquial origin explained below, but the term has also been used in clinical and research literature.

Quoted: ...I haven't done any of that. I only told her to lay off the Lunesta and stay out of all the conspiacy theory sites. And I get accused of gaslighting? You told her she's drugging herself too much, and that she's too paranoid, yet you expected her to think it was constructive criticism.  |

Exactly. I guess some people don't take constructive criticism very well. |
