Have you ever experienced domestic violence similar to what is depicted in this short film?

I highly recommend watching this short film. Here are some of the comments (accessed 2/21/26):

" This should be a requirement for junior high/high school students to watch. Male and female. More awareness is important. Great film. " (with 2.2k likes)

" When this was first put out I watched this, and realized I was in a toxic relationship. It helped me make the decision to end that situation.. I'm now months single, and my life could not be more peaceful. Thank you for helping me realize the difference in "crazy," and gaslighting. " (with 2.4k likes)

" I think this should be taught in school as a mandatory subject. So many of us lose ourselves to gaslighting without even realising it. This is gut wrenching. " (with 1.6k likes)

My aim on GAG is to help you decode relationships, spot red flags, and avoid getting your heart wrecked, not just broken.

I haven’t personally lived that level of domestic violence, but I’ve seen versions of it up close through clients: gaslighting, lovebombing, control disguised as “care,” walking on eggshells daily. Films like that are brutal but powerful mirrors.

They’re amazing tools for early awareness. Emotional abuse counts. If someone constantly makes you doubt your memory, feel “crazy,” or scared to speak, that’s not drama, that’s danger.

Here's the cold hearted reality men (including myself) are more likely to be abused & in abusive relationships (like myself) and less likely to report it

I was in a good number of abusive relationships but when i report it i get the standard victim blaming there's nothing they can do different laws i heard every excuse under the sun to not hold a woman accountable it's beyond sickening. Men practically have zero rights in the corrupt gender biased legal system and women know this and fully take advantage of it. I could go down a huge laundry list of all the abusive toxic shit i was subjected to and NOTHING gets done about it. But the moment a woman so much as breaks a fingernail the white knights are ready to pounce all over that with the come to her rescue superman red cape routine

Abuse happens to both men and women. Short film just happens to show a woman being abused.

If you keep ending up in abusive relationships, there is likely something about you that causes you to end up in them because not everyone does. For example, if you have low self esteem, poor boundaries, self doubt, people-pleasing tendencies, I recommend working on building up your self esteem, confidence, learn how to establish boundaries, and be less of a people pleaser.

I feel that doing what I said in above last sentence can help someone (male/female) avoid abusive relationships.

Also, read about personality disorders.

One other thing - be careful about making generalizations. The people we have interacted with are likely not a random sample.

As people have preferences of who to date etc.
