I inherited my grandparents’ house, which is worth $ 650,000 .

My husband says the house does not count toward my net worth.

Your husband may be abusive or a schmuck, but you should never get used to normalizing unhealthy and toxic behavior.

Gaslighters are people who cast themselves in a positive light but are actually manipulating or undermining others.

Merriam-Webster defines gaslighting as “psychological manipulation” that causes the victim to question their perception of reality.

The term was coined in a 1938 play, “ Gas Light ,” a psychological thriller set in Victorian London .
