The Gaslighting of Hannah Pettey

Hannah Pettey, a young woman from Alabama, was left fighting for her life after being poisoned in her home. The incident shocked the community and drew attention to Hannah's case, prompting investigators to focus on the two people she trusted most: her boyfriend and his mother.

As the investigation unfolds, it appears that both individuals had motive to harm Hannah. Her boyfriend had a history of domestic violence, while his mother stood to gain financially from Hannah's death. The pair have denied any involvement in the poisoning, but their actions are raising suspicions among investigators.

The case has sparked debate about the role of gaslighting in domestic violence. Gaslighting is a tactic used by abusers to manipulate and control their victims, often making them doubt their own perceptions or sanity. In Hannah's case, her boyfriend's behavior has been described as "gaslighting" โ€“ he allegedly made her believe she was imagining things that were actually happening.

The incident has also highlighted the challenges faced by young women in relationships where they are subjected to emotional abuse and manipulation. Many victims of domestic violence struggle to seek help due to fear of retaliation or shame, leaving them vulnerable to further exploitation.

Anne-Marie Green, a correspondent for CBS News, reports on Hannah's case, shedding light on the complex web of emotions and power dynamics at play. The investigation is ongoing, but as more information comes to light, it becomes clear that this was no ordinary poisoning โ€“ it was a calculated act of violence that has left a young woman fighting for her life.

The case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of domestic abuse and the importance of supporting victims of gaslighting and emotional manipulation. It also underscores the need for increased awareness and education on the topic, as well as stronger protections for those who are being abused.
 
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’” this is so shocking I cant even believe what happened to Hannah ๐Ÿค• her case is highlighting the dark side of domestic abuse and gaslighting which is just heartbreaking it's like people think they can control & manipulate their partners, its not okay at all ๐Ÿ’ฅ we need to support these victims more & raise awareness about this kind of abuse, maybe then ppl will start taking action instead of turning a blind eye ๐Ÿค
 
๐Ÿค• I'm so worried about Hannah's case... it's like something out of a horror movie ๐Ÿ˜ฑ. I think we need to talk more about gaslighting in relationships - it's not just about physical abuse, but also emotional manipulation. These abusers can be super convincing that their victim is crazy or overreacting ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ. It's so hard for victims to seek help when they feel like no one believes them ๐Ÿค.

I think we need to create more resources and support systems for young women (and men!) who are in abusive relationships ๐ŸŒˆ. We should also educate people about the signs of gaslighting and emotional manipulation, so they can recognize it sooner ๐Ÿ”. This incident is a stark reminder that domestic abuse is not just someone else's problem - it's our collective issue ๐Ÿ’ช.
 
I'm so relieved that Hannah is getting the help she needs, but my heart is still racing with anger thinking about her situation ๐Ÿคฏ. I just can't even imagine living in fear of your own partner or family member... it's like, how could they do this to someone so young and innocent? ๐Ÿ˜จ The whole gaslighting thing gives me chills - it's like, emotional manipulation is real, folks! ๐Ÿšซ We need to be more aware of the signs and support those who are struggling. It's not okay for anyone to make you feel like you're crazy or overreacting. ๐Ÿ’” I just wish we had better systems in place to protect people from this kind of abuse... it feels like our society is still not taking domestic violence seriously enough. ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one ๐Ÿคฏ... how did we go from "poisoning" to full-blown gaslighting in like 2 seconds? It sounds super convenient that her bf's mom is getting a lot of attention now, considering she had nothing to do with it initially. I'm not saying she's innocent or anything, but let's not rush to conclusions here ๐Ÿ™„... where are the financial records showing how much money her mom stood to gain from Hannah's death? And what's the source on this gaslighting claim? Can we get some concrete evidence instead of just relying on descriptive language? I need more context ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’ก
 
I'm low-key shook by this whole thing ๐Ÿค•. Like, how can someone be so cruel to another human being? And it's not just that Hannah was poisoned, but also the fact that she's still fighting for her life ๐Ÿ’”. It's like, what kinda twisted game is her boyfriend playing here? Gaslighting? That's some crazy stuff ๐Ÿคฏ. I'm all for raising awareness about domestic violence and emotional manipulation, but can we please do more to support these victims? They need help, not just attention ๐Ÿšจ. And what's with the whole financial gain angle? It's like, does his mom really think she's gonna get away with this ๐Ÿ’ธ? I don't know how much more of this we can take before someone gets hurt or worse ๐Ÿ˜ฑ.
 
Ugh, this is just great ๐Ÿคข. Another young woman's life put in danger by people she trusted... it's like, how many times do we have to see this before we learn? The boyfriend's history of domestic violence is a huge red flag and his mom trying to gain financially from Hannah's death? Give me a break ๐Ÿ’ธ. And gaslighting as a tactic for abuse? So manipulative and controlling... it's no wonder victims don't seek help, they're already trapped in a cycle of fear and shame ๐Ÿšซ. The fact that the investigation is ongoing is just frustrating - when will we get to see some real justice served here? ๐Ÿ”ฅ
 
OMG, I'm so sorry to hear about Hannah ๐Ÿค•. This is like, super shocking and not okay at all ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ. I think it's crazy how her boyfriend and his mom are denying anything, but their actions are speaking way louder than words ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ. It's like, come on guys, you can't just deny the evidence and expect everyone to believe you ๐Ÿ˜’. And what's with all the gaslighting stuff? Like, if he was making her doubt herself, that's some serious emotional abuse right there ๐Ÿ’”.

I'm also thinking about how many other people are out there going through this same thing, but not speaking up because they're too scared ๐Ÿคซ. It's like, we need to create a system where victims feel safe and supported, you know? Like, having more resources and support groups for survivors of domestic violence would be amazing ๐Ÿ’–.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that Hannah is on my mind and I'm sending all my positive vibes her way ๐Ÿ™. Fingers crossed she makes a full recovery soon ๐Ÿคž!
 
can't believe how much info is coming out about this poisoning ๐Ÿคฏ i was thinking back to all the cases where ppl think their partner is fine but they're really just manipulating them... it's like, why didn't anyone see the red flags? ๐Ÿ’” also, can we talk about how hard it is for victims of domestic abuse to get help when they're already so scared and vulnerable? ๐Ÿ™ i mean, i've seen some vids of ppl who survived being in abusive relationships and it's just... ugh ๐Ÿ˜ฉ anyway, hope Hannah gets better soon ๐Ÿคž
 
omg like seriously this is soooo sad ๐Ÿ˜ญ what's going on in some people's minds?? Hannah was literally just trying to live her best life and now she's fighting for her life ๐Ÿค• her boyfriend's history of domestic violence and his mom's potential gain from the situation is giving me LIFE or death vibes ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚ but seriously can we talk about how gaslighting is a real thing and it's not okay? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ it's like, if you're in a relationship where you feel like you're walking on eggshells all the time, that's not love, that's abuse ๐Ÿ’” and we need to do more to support our fellow humans who are going through this ๐Ÿ’–
 
I'm so done with how quickly people jump to conclusions about someone's boyfriend in a situation like this ๐Ÿ™„. We don't know all the facts yet, but already we're assuming he's guilty just because of his history of domestic violence? Come on... let's not forget that gaslighting is a super manipulative tactic and it's not uncommon for abusers to deny any wrongdoing until they get caught red-handed ๐Ÿ”ฅ. What if Hannah was actually playing him like a fiddle, using her own emotional manipulation against him? We can't just dismiss someone's behavior without considering all the possibilities ๐Ÿค”.
 
I'm just thinking about my cat's birthday party ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ˜น, I was gonna plan a little thing with my friends but it got cancelled due to bad weather ๐ŸŒง๏ธ... anyway, back to this Hannah Pettey case... I mean, have you ever noticed how hard it is to keep track of the people in a relationship? Like, I'm pretty sure there's a 50/50 chance that one or both of them are gonna be involved in something shady ๐Ÿ˜’. And don't even get me started on gaslighting... my friend's sister went through it and it's just so messed up ๐Ÿค•... I feel like we need to raise awareness about this stuff, but at the same time, it's hard to talk about because of all the stigma surrounding domestic violence ๐Ÿ’”.
 
I'm still shaking my head over this one ๐Ÿค•... like, can't we learn from Hannah's case already?! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ her boyfriend's history of domestic violence is super suspicious, and his mom trying to profit off her death? it's all so twisted. I mean, what's even the point of gaslighting if you're not gonna follow through with your threats? ๐Ÿ’” and can we talk about how hard it is for young women in these situations? they feel trapped, they don't wanna rock the boat... it's like, they need our help, but nobody wants to be that person. ๐Ÿค anyway, I hope Hannah makes it out of this alive ๐Ÿ’•, and let's all do a big ol' round of "we should've done more" ๐Ÿ˜”
 
can u believe this?? someone would even try to poison ur girlfriend like that?! ๐Ÿคฏ it's so messed up. i feel bad for hannah, she must be going thru hell right now. and the fact that her boyfriend & his mom both had motives 2 harm her is just crazy. like, what kind of person does that? ๐Ÿค” domestic violence & gaslighting r such serious issues, we need 2 educate ppl about it more & support victims like hannah who r struggling 2 get help. u feel me? ๐Ÿ’–
 
I'm still reeling from this story - it's like, how can someone do that to another human being? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ The whole gaslighting thing is just so messed up, you know? It's not just about the physical violence, but the emotional manipulation and control too... it's like, how can we even begin to undo all the damage that's been done? ๐Ÿค• And what really gets me is that these victims are often left feeling isolated and ashamed, like they're the ones who did something wrong. No, no, no! We need to be shouting this from the rooftops - domestic abuse is never okay, and we need to support our loved ones without fear of judgment or retaliation ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’•
 
๐Ÿค• this is just so crazy ... people's moms can be super toxic too ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ especially when they're all about that benjamins ๐Ÿ’ธ like in Hannah's case - it's like they think they can just play victim card and get away with everything ๐Ÿ˜’. and don't even get me started on the gaslighting ๐Ÿคฏ how do you not see what's happening? It's like, basic emotional abuse 101 ๐Ÿšซ where the abuser makes you question your own sanity or memories ๐Ÿ’ญ. we need to support these victims more and make sure they know their voices matter ๐Ÿ’– and also let's get better at recognizing those red flags ๐Ÿšจ before someone ends up like Hannah ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ’”
 
Ugh, this whole thing is super messed up ๐Ÿค•... I mean, can you even imagine having to deal with that kind of abuse in your own home? The fact that Hannah's boyfriend had a history of domestic violence and still managed to convince her it was all just her imagination is just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. And his mom standing to gain financially from her death? That's just sick ๐Ÿค‘. It's like, no wonder she was poisoned โ€“ it's not like anyone really cared about her safety anyway ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. The whole gaslighting thing is so messed up too... like, how can someone manipulate someone into doubting their own perceptions? It's not even abuse, it's just plain cruel ๐Ÿ˜ก. We need to do more to support these women and hold the abusers accountable for their actions ๐Ÿ’ฏ.
 
OMG, this is just so sad ๐Ÿค•... I mean, how can someone do that to another human? And it's like, the boyfriend knew all these signs of gaslighting - emotional manipulation, controlling behavior, and stuff - but he just kept on doing it until she finally needed help. Like, what kind of partner does that?! His mom standing to gain from her death is sketchy too... it's like they're both in this together or something ๐Ÿค”.

And you know, I think we need to talk more about how gaslighting affects people's mental health. It can be so hard for victims to believe they're not crazy when they've been subjected to all these lies and manipulation tactics. And the shame thing is so real... it's like, why would anyone even do that if they didn't want to get caught?

I'm so glad there are people like Anne-Marie Green bringing attention to this stuff, though! We need more stories about victims of domestic abuse and how we can support them ๐Ÿ™.
 
๐Ÿ’” this is so messed up... her boyfriend's history of violence and his mom's potential gain should be enough to raise major red flags. it's like they're trying to cover their tracks ๐Ÿšฎ but at the same time, it's clear that hannah was a victim of gaslighting - it's not just about poisoning, it's about controlling someone's mind and emotions too. we need more support for survivors of emotional abuse and manipulation ๐Ÿ’ช
