backstabbing?

Did you ever have the experience of telling someone(friend or family member) something private only to discover the information coming back to you from a third person and in a form that is very distorted?

Splitting is an attempt on the part of one person to make another, third individual, look wrong, bad, guilty.
Splitting can happen anywhere including at work, among groups of friends and, of course, within families. It is a pathological form of communication because the person who is doing the splitting is attempting to create havoc by portraying another person as "all bad".
It is unhealthy because people are neither all good nor all bad but a combination of both.
