Parricide is not a new phenomenon and history is full of cases from the Lizzie Borden case of 1872 which generated the famous rhyme “Lizzie Borden took an axe, and gave her mother forty whacks; when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one,” to the more recent Menendez Brothers case in 1989 Beverly Hills who shot their parents dead in cold blood to access their money before claiming severe child abuse as their defence at trial.

Gaslighting, explained.
How do you convince someone that something they know to be true isn’t? In psychology, what is known as the “illusory truth effect” is a phenomenon in which a listener comes to believe something primarily because it has been repeated so often. When an abuser continually tells you that you are oversensitive or that what you are experiencing is in no way abuse, you begin believing it, even if you know deep down it isn’t true. In other words, a lie that is repeated long enough eventually can be seen as the truth. Researchers Hasher, Goldstein and Toppino (1997) discovered that when a statement (even when it is false and readers know it to be false) is repeated multiple times, it was more likely to be rated as true simply due to the effects of repetition. The illusory truth effect can cause us to become susceptible to the effects of another dangerous form of reality erosion known as gaslighting.
