Nasty person.

How do I stop thinking about many nasty things a person is saying? These things are about my daughter and they are not valid. She has done bad things and said It was me. I just can't win. I wake up in the night thinking about how nasty she is. I am not the first person she has done this to. She wins every time. I just wish I could get her out of my head. I would be grateful for ideas.

I was gaslighted by someone a couple of years ago they also told terrible lies about me. I really suffered as I felt I had nowhere to turn until I confided is someone and it turned out this person had done it to them too! That helped me realise that the gaslighting person was actually sick and that if anything they needed pitying, I knew I could do nothing to change what had already happened so I chose to turn my hate to pity and realise that I had a lot of good in my life to be thankful for. As the saying goes Haters gotta Hate some people just can’t help themselves they are just made that way you need to just try and adjust the way you cope with it to stop them affecting you. Don’t get me wrong I still get times when I think about it and it upsets me but most of the time I just give myself a talking to as it’s not worth letting them spoil my life when I know they have the problem. Hope this helps a little 💛
