It’s the drip, drip, drip indeed - and the twisting of words and events after we’ve given up what we want or need or defied them. They’re always the victim. We’re always in the wrong. And no-one knows because they only see the public face whereas we get the monster manipulator. It’s called the FOG isn’t it - Fear, Obligation and Guilt? The silent treatment is deadly.
Yes, it really is soul-destroying the way they twist everything around like that. I was actually just reading about the acronym FOG only yesterday in the book 'Emotional Blackmail' by Susan Forward. I hadn't heard it before but it is very accurate - fear, obligation, and guilt, are the three big things they target. Thanks for sharing.
