Emotional Blackmail

Emotional Blackmail 

Your honor, may I call Fear as a witness to the stand?

Fear do you promise to tell us the details  and give us nothing but the facts 

Yes, Fear has guilt-tripped us with apprehension rather than reality. 

Edginess,  Restlessness,  Self-doubt 
Vague  Emotional Blackmail on numerous occasions, shifting and blaming. 

An apology without behavior change is just Emotional Blackmail. 

It's not okay to twist one's words and use them as weapons  for tool-using guilt for control purposes. 

Emotional Blackmail is messy, but growth is Essential.

Who is a witness. I feel fear is being set-up. Though I totally agree fear is emotional blackmail.
