“Emotional Blackmail” written by Dr. Susan Forward with Donna Frazier is a self-development book that talks about stopping the people in your life who nurse guilt and obligation to manipulate you. Throughout the book, the anatomy of a damaged relationship is cleared up appealingly, which gives blackmail targets the tools to fight back.

I seldom read self-development books because they always end up clearing a part of the problem and leave you to figure out the rest without guiding the reader about their next step. But this book stood out to me and helped me fight back in a toxic relationship which inspired me to help other people who faced the same problem.

A lot of people are left horrified after learning that I read this book during the fourth grade, which leads me to think about the things that would’ve happened if I never found this book. The reason that I am writing this particular review about this particular book is to help the people that haven’t found this book yet, so if you’re reading this, I strongly suggest that you read this book.
