A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Manipulate

by Michael Sunset

Overview

Michael Sunset's memoir details the way he was systematically manipulated by his ex-wife, her father, his mother, and sister to believe he had a mental illness. His ex-wife worked to manipulate mental health professionals and the family court system to obtain control of their finances and daughter during their divorce process. Michael describes how jarring it is to experience and how to defend against it. Many victims experience emotional abuse in the form of gaslighting, projection, smear campaigns, stonewalling, reality distortions, and financial abuse. Predators are often successful at getting you to doubt your perception of reality.
