Description
“If you really loved me …” “After all I’ve done for you …” “How can you be so selfish …” Do any of these sound familiar? They are examples of emotional blackmail, a powerful form of manipulation in which people close to us threaten to punish us for not doing what they want. Emotional blackmailers know how much we value our relationships, as well as our vulnerabilities and deepest secrets. They may be our mothers, partners, bosses, coworkers, friends or lovers, and regardless of how much they care about us, they use this intimate knowledge to obtain what they want: our compliance. Susan Forward understands what pushes our hot buttons. Just as John Gray illuminates the communication gap between the sexes in Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, and Harriet Lerner describes the intricate dynamics of anger in The Dance of Anger, Forward presents the anatomy of a relationship damaged by manipulation and gives readers an arsenal of tools with which to fight back.
