Both my mother and my now ex-boyfriend are probably narcissists, and they both gaslight. The context within which the gaslighting occurs is usually a response of rabid denial regarding something awful and abusive they've done. They are both incapable of accepting responsibility for their misdeeds. These are people who can never accept that they are less than perfect. It makes me sick to tell you the truth.
I think a lifetime of dealing with my mother sort of primed me for meeting, and falling for my now ex-boyfriend.
