d "Emotional Blackmail"
D Susan Foward, Donna Fraser
▪️ "If you dare to divorce me, you won't want to see children!" ”
▪️ "You're a bad boy, do you want me to die to show you?" ”
▪️ "I'm so uncomfortable, see what you've made me!" ”
▪️ "Don't you want this?" Then listen to me. ”
These emotional blackmailers could be your partner, parents, friends, co-workers... They may just be "good for you" in their own way, but they will make you worse off than dead.
Their subtext is: "If you care about me, you have to follow me." ”
The people you care about know where your death pit is, and the people close to you will drag you into the protracted battle.
Small, inconspicuous concessions again and again have masked a time bomb that consumes love, erodes personality, and destroys relationships. In emotional blackmail, both people are losers.
The biggest lie in human relationships is: "You are responsible for my emotions." I was so relieved to read this book, it taught me to identify a destructive pattern of getting along and learn to blackmail Say No on emotion!
