Confession here – I have a deep, dark secret. Probably I should build suspense – maybe hang the reveal out over half a dozen posts.
No sorry – can’t do it. As you have probably guessed from my title by now, I HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR.It has always been my secret weapon. It creeps out occasionally at the most inappropriate of times, especially when everybody else is trying to be serious.
Even in the midst of my toxic situation, I had found things to laugh about. I had not taken the gaslighting sufficiently seriously (I mean part of me thought it was hilarious that he was trying to get me to deny the evidence of my own eyes and ears) but other than that, I think my sense of humour has been a great survival tool.
If ever I did manage to defeat his schemes occasionally, it was down mainly to my sense of humour. When he tried to turn me into a bogan, I thought if you want bogan, you can have bogan. I had really enjoyed it. He hadn’t… It got my point across very quickly. A few hours was enough.
For an explanation of the term bogan click the link. Don’t get me wrong, this is not meant to cause offence to anybody. It just isn’t me. Well most of the time anyway…

Wish I had looked like her...
Sometimes laughter really is the best medicine.
CAUTION YOU DO NEED TO KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, I KNEW MINE HAD A SENSE OF HUMOUR TOO. HE PROBABLY MADE ME PAY FOR IT LATER BUT IT WAS WORTH IT…
