I read an article recently by a Harvard psychologist, Courtney Warren, which explained 'Gaslighters' and 9 typical behaviours via which they express themselves, especially to their intended/actual victims.I suppose you could look at it another way. An Evil Fairy cast a spell on sweet, pure Liverpool FC. As a result, tragedy and hooliganism go with them wherever they go, like fleas on a dog. But it's not their fault. All the bad stuff is done by evil gnomes, who happen to be invisible but have been wrongly identified as Chelsea fans in the past.
I think we should all allow that this is a genuine possibility.
Explaining how 'Gaslighters' communicate with their intended/actual victims using phrases such as "You made me do it" as a defence mechanism in their favour, Dr Warren states:
"When something doesn't go as they had planned, gaslighters will often try to avoid taking responsibility by shifting any criticism and blame onto you."
Now, that reminds me..
