Quote of the Day

Any logic or ability to see the consequences of their actions is obscured by the urgency blackmailers feel to hold on to what they have.  They're in a FOG of their own that makes them oblivious to how much they alienate other people with their bullying.  All that matters is finding immediate relief from their deprivation fears -- whatever that relief costs.

-- Susan Forward with Donna Frazier, Emotional Blackmail, p. 93
