Thank you to start. Thank you. I am so excited to be here. And I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing right now than talking to you amazing women about gaslighting and just surviving hard things. Yes.

who was a diabolical guy, who in that case was after her money and her aunt's jewels, was brilliant at manipulating her, at leading her to second guess herself. Shortly into the movie, he talks to her about how she's forgetful. And initially she says, That's so silly. Of course, I don't forget things. No, no, no.
