Thank you-what a revelation

This book saved my sanity!!. I spent two years trying to figure someone out. Up was down, black was white. She changed her moods as often as you change the channel. I continually took responsibility and apologized thinking I could get back the girl I once knew. This book taught me that that is the absolutely worst thing to do to an emotional blackmailer. It just empowers them to abuse you more. While I knew the relationship had soured, I did not know why or what happened. I thought I would spend the rest of my life wondering where I went wrong. Through this book, found someone who was admittedly insecure and stubborn to be a master manipulator and controller. And learned that it was not my responsibilty nor was it possible to "fix" her. She knew how emotionally attached I was and purposely became distant. While the book tells of strategies to deal with someone who is an emotional blackmailer, I feel liberated and confident that my decision to end the madness and the relationship was correct. Thank you Susan Forward, I am forever in your debt.

Don't buy into the blackmail

Don't be a blackmailer and don't buy into the blackmail. Learn to recognize your own triggers and disconnect. Even if you don't have a pattern of emotional blackmail you can learn to recognize behaviors in yourself that are like blackmail. This is a valuable book for disconnecting from people pushing your hot buttons.

This book should be taught in school...

This is definitely one of those books I wish I'd read years ago. Finally someone put my gut feelings into words. It's easy to know you are being manipulated by the ever-present ugly results. BUT being able to see through our own prejudices and preconceived fears to see exactly how we are being manipulated is extremely difficult. Dr. Forward does an amazing job of explaining this in clear, easy-to-read language. Best of all she shows how to to deactivate "hot buttons," get empowered and take back control of our lives. I'm thinking of giving this one out as gifts!
