Hi Blackie, you are doing really well and sound like a really nice guy.  

Yes there's no doubt that we come out of these relationships feeling incredibly confused - we have been gaslighted and our whole emotional being coopted into it and now we are hearing what was bothering us deep in the depths of our perception being brought into the light of day.  

I just didn't see the truth of my ex until I did.  

I see the mindfuck like a cloud of dust kicked up as you question the reality you thought you inhabited V the one you are now seeing.  

Like getting bit by a tick - it has an analgesic as well as toxin in it's saliva.  Gaslighting, the injection of misinformation into your reality map, also comes with an analgesic.

It wears off as you start to question and there you are in the mindfuck - it clears as the dust settles down.
