I'm very familiar w/the Stanford Prison Experiment as I talk about it in my psychology class. I've never applied it to me though, but it does make sense.
My good friend said my XW was trying to "gas light" me into thinking I was crazy and the one w/the problems which she did. In a way, her "gaslighting" methods helped me to act in a way that she wanted me to. I never hit her, but she wanted everyone to think I was abusive to her. I did yell at her, but I was never verbally abusive...at least never to the degree that I've been portrayed.
So, again, we're alike. Very much alike. I've found my angry self is non-existent now that XW is gone. I've not really been angry since she moved out in February. Interesting coincidence, isn't it?
