Hi @Blahblah
It's sounds like you have a nice relationship. I'm glad for you that you have that support ❤️
I love the UK. I've always wanted to visit the English countryside and old cottages.
It's hard to socialise when we get confused about what people mean. I get that.
Wishing you well today.

Not sure if you have heard of gaslighting. @Blahblah It is an old Brit movie.
Here if you want to chat. I am not online all the time, but if you wait for response I will always try.
Had a lot to do with people dealing with Schizophrenia ... they got no idea wots up with me. Too complicated.

Yes it's gaslighting .. I'll try buying dictaphone to record it but it's difficult as my husband drives me everywhere and I wouldn't get a chance to buy one ..but I'll try first opportunity as I'll have to provide proof given my schizophrenia diagnosis.
All my family in UK just think I'm mad and I haven't made any friends here of my own ..been in Oz 13:years and gaslighting occuring every so often .. I've possibly been misdiagnosis and endured as an immigrant these games saying they'll send me back,.. coming from my own husband and mother in law..
Thanks for listening.. 💞
