Word of the Day... Gaslighting

Gaslighting is an indirect form of being very cruel to someone, which is extremely hurtful, and in many ways, is often even more difficult to respond to or resolve, than a direct negative action or words, would be. :(

Medical gaslighting is unconscionable. :mad:

As well as dangerous.

Reminds me of another indirect form of cruelty that was once called passive aggressive.
 
It exists, believe me, but didn't know there was a term for it. My PCP is a hand patter, but does nothing but say something to the effect, "You have to realize that your getting older. Expect things will start happening you didn't expect."
