@positivity-vibes I think the best result would be to purposely act as you don’t care/register when your mother mentions this lie. People who deal with gaslighting have interesting results when they don’t have an apparent emotional reaction to being poked at, and they observe how the gaslighter reacts. It doesn’t solve the anxiety, but what comes out next from your mom might be insighful on whether there’s a real reason to be worried about a random stranger taking photos of you.
Your mother really should be happy and proud that you are in a loving relationship @positivity-vibes, don’t let her threats, lies and blackmail get you down, focus on making each day stronger with your boyfriend and keep going, you can do it, inbox me anytime if you want to chat or vent, you are never alone (hugs)
