I was unknowingly drugged by a group of people that I thought to be my friends. I went through a long time of pain and once I found out that the reason for it was them drugging me they all stood together and defended each other by putting the blame on me.
They are now running a smear campaign against me and telling people I am just making stuff up. One last person of this group I am still “friends” with, but I caught him defending them behind my back and also telling people I am just making it up. He basically is just acting in front of me like he is my friend but in reality he is bad mouthing me behind my back. Like, I knew a person for a while who I was cool with, but when that person got to know him, the next time that person started treating me differently.
I feel so betrayed and if I tell him that he will just gaslight and drop me just like the last time I tried telling him. I am stuck and don’t want his/their smear campaigns to be successful, but with no real friends, no support system and my ptsd I am afraid to go out there and defend myself. I feel like they basically can control the narrative while I watch.
Is there a book about how to defend yourself in these types of situations? How to make them fear spreading lies about me? How to make them stop walking over me and abusing me? How to protect myself from further abuse?
