Domestic Violence For “Gaslighting” –– I successfully leveraged an agreement to a Domestic Violence Protective Order by demonstrating evidence of “gaslighting.” Traditionally, domestic violence is thought of as physical abuse. However, “gaslighting” is a complex, systematic pattern of abuse over a period of months, or even years. It is psychological abuse which considers various actions of the abuser, requiring several layers of proof.
When presented with the evidence, the perpetrator agreed to a Domestic Violence Protective Order in favor of my Client.
