"The other woman knew where you lived. So you invited her over for wine, and you waited together for the man you were both dating to walk through the door."Empire: Forged By Fire · Chapter Five
You remember what actually happened, and somewhere along the way you learned to apologize for remembering it. That is what gaslighting takes from a person, the simple right to believe your own eyes, and the one doing it is always counting on you staying quiet and staying put.
Chapter Five is the story of what happens when you stop staying put. It starts with a knock on the door, two glasses of wine, and a man walking into a room where his lies had already introduced themselves to each other. If you have ever been talked out of your own memory, this chapter is going to read like someone finally wrote your story down.
