Emotional Blackmail. Yes it is. That is always the hook, the weapon. It has been for a very very long time. I have a book on Emotional Blackmail that I have had for at least a year. I need to drag that out. It was a bit overwhelming when I first bought it and I didn't read it. I did read Codependent No More and a few others at that time. I'm in a more stable place now and it is time. Thanks.

Ah, yes, what a special little snowflake he is, too! :rotfxko

Thank you, naive!

Hugs to you, Thumper.

I loved that book! I have crossed the Atlantic twice with that book. It took the second trip and some sober time to actually read it.
I remember the FOG
Fear
Obligation
Guilt.

Amazing what you can see when the FOG has lifted.
I can see for miles now.

I think Naive needs to make an app for that! A little digital decoder that we can take every where.
