Kouri Richins: The Psychology of Gaslighting & How Abusers Distort Reality | Surviving the Fog Part 2

Kouri Richins: The Psychology of Gaslighting & How Abusers Distort Reality | Surviving the Fog Part 2

Prosecutors allege Kouri Richins was $4.5 million in debt. 200+ overdraft transactions. A mansion closing she allegedly couldn't afford. All while Eric apparently didn't know the full picture.

How do you miss financial catastrophe in your own marriage?

The fog.

This is Part 2 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining coercive control through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented abuse patterns.

Gaslighting is sustained manipulation that dismantles your perception of reality. They deny what happened. They attack your credibility. They flip the script until you're apologizing for confronting them about something real.

The fog is also engineered chaos. Constant crisis keeps you in survival mode. You can't analyze the pattern when you're putting out fires. And whenever you start seeing clearly? A new emergency appears.

Cognitive dissonance freezes you. "I love this person" and "this person is destroying me" can't coexist—so your brain rejects the truth.

The confusion is the strategy. A clear-eyed partner would leave. They need you disoriented.

You're not losing your mind. Someone is working very hard to make you feel that way.

Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
