“<\/p>\n\n\n\n“I think you’re being a little dramatic. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s classic gaslighting. And it\u2019s always delivered by someone who either hasn\u2019t seen what you\u2019ve seen\u2014or saw it and stayed anyway, because they\u2019re getting theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s always someone who says, \u201cWell, I managed to change things. You must\u2019ve just gone about it the wrong way.\u201d As if the issue was tone. Or strategy.
