Flying Free

What is Emotional Manipulation? [87]


Listen Later

You've been telling him for years how hurtful his behavior is. Literally begging him to stop. It's like beating your head against a wall. You've reached your breaking point. Then he tosses out a question your heart longed to hear from the beginning:

"What can I do to fix this?"

Right at the end. Right before your feet hit the pavement. Right before you've given up.

What now?

Learn about 3 critical aspects of this scenario:

  • What this question actually means.
  • Why he never asked it before.
  • Ways to respond that won't lead you right back onto the hamster wheel of death.
