There are strange things happening in Chez Thomas. When I describe them to you, I wonder what reaction you will take ~ reality or Gaslighting.
In case you don't understand the term "Gaslighting" please watch the movie Gaslight. It stars Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. It is a great movie about a man trying to prove his wife is crazy, and she isn't. So he does things in the house and denies they happened.
Why this topic? This morning, I go into Mom's room to get her up. Her brown reclining chair is raised up and tilting forward and Mom swears the chair did it on its own AND she could not make it go back down.
Then, in the bathroom, I find this container of Rose talcum powder:
I ask her about it, and she tells me she couldn't find any other powder. Never mind the 2 bottles of Gold Bond medicated powder on the counter. Where did this come from? I have asked her again and again to not use anything other that Dove for Sensitive skin and Gold Bond. I buy Dove and Gold Bond.
I have been thru her things and gotten rid of all that could cause a reaction to her skin. And still things turn up.
In the past, she was using Lamisile because "a doctor" told her to use it. I did research and it was recommended to use Gold Bond medicated powder and the Gold Bond did heal the areas up. Mom was asked to not use Lamisile anymore.
Guess what arrived in the mail yesterday FROM ENGLAND! Yep, a small tube of Lamisile.
So I ask: who is gaslighting who?
Much love,
Leslie
