The family I grew up in was a structurally supported scapegoating/gaslighting, collective fabrication (shared falsehoods), performance and farce tied to money and status, and a cult-like control structure that tried to force down reality perception itself.

This article was created using Mac voice input rather than keyboard input. It may contain misrecognitions, unnatural phrasing, and missing punctuation or line breaks. I will correct any errors as I find them, but I am publishing it first to prioritize the freshness of the record. I plan to rework the punctuation and paragraphing later to improve readability. Please let me know if there are any inaccuracies in the intended meaning. Thank you.
The family I grew up in had gaslighting as the norm
Research into gaslighting is advancing in various ways, and the article below discusses gaslighting research in the field of AI. Gaslighting is being studied from this kind of angle as well. Interesting, isn’t it? I want gaslighting research to keep moving forward. And in my view, if we keep deepening gaslighting research, where do we ultimately arrive? I think one answer is cults. In other words, the source of gaslighting, its root, is cults. Everyone is influenced by someone. Children are often influenced by their parents, right? In the same way, cults influence cult members. And then cult members may begin using gaslighting even without knowing the term, because cults use gaslighting a lot. If you view cults as antisocial, that connects with what psychologist Martha Stout said: sociopaths (antisocial personality disorder) often use gaslighting. Because they are antisocial, they come to use gaslighting. The method of gaslighting requires acting from an antisocial position. So people who are naturally antisocial end up using it more often. That is not always the case, of course.
The family I grew up in was, not as an exaggeration but as a fact, structurally supported scapegoating/gaslighting、collective fabrication (shared falsehoods)、performance and farce tied to financial and positional gainanda cult-like control structure that tried to overpower reality perception itselfit was.
