I tell her everything, basically. All of my fears, paranoid thoughts, etc, etc. Last night, she passive-aggressively told me to get to sleep when I was in the room with her (it was her way of saying she doesn't want me in the room because I saw how annoyed she was when I just went in to talk to her). I said it's easier said than done when you have damn insomnia and after that, she went all silent. I spoke to her at least four times afterwards and she completely blanked me so I left the room. A while afterwards, I told her how rude that was and she says, "See, here you go again, thinking people are ignoring you." And then she says, "I hope your boyfriend doesn't ignore you or he'd get treated the same way I do." It was like she was deliberately provoking me with that last comment. She didn't need to mention my boyfriend whatsoever as it had nothing to do with him. What do you guys think? I know her first comment was gaslighting me. I think this is why I have issues with doubting my concerns and thoughts constantly. I keep thinking, "Is this really true and real?" because of the gaslighting. Also, when she ignores me, everybody else in the house does as well, especially my sister even though she had nothing to do with it. I feel like I'm always at fault and if I have any concerns then I'm not allowed to voice them and I get the silent treatment. I also get scared of dropping my food around my mum because I know how much it pisses her off when it happens. Communication doesn't exist in this house. I didn't learn to communicate properly until about a year ago (I'm 23..) and only did because of the Internet. The way conflict gets "resolved" in this house is to blank each other until they've calmed down and then act as if nothing even happened. Just WTF? My mum is also in control of everybody's money in the house and my dad gets none of his pension money and my sister gets none of her disability money either.
