en-wikipedia-org-4305		Emotional blackmail - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	2310	361	52	Emotional blackmail and FOG are terms, popularized by psychotherapist Susan Forward, about controlling people in relationships and the theory that fear, obligation and guilt (FOG) are the transactional dynamics at play between the controller and the person being controlled. Under pressure, one may become a sort of hostage, forced to act under pressure of the threat of responsibility for the other's breakdown.[7] One could fall into a pattern of letting the blackmailer control his/her decisions and behavior, lost in what Doris Lessing described as "a sort of psychological fog".[8] People with borderline personality disorder are particularly likely to use emotional blackmail[12] (as too are destructive narcissists).[13] However, their actions may be impulsive and driven by fear and a desperate sense of hopelessness, rather than being the product of any conscious plan.[14]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-4305.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-4305.txt
