Emotional blackmail is a powerful form of manipulation in which someone or directly or indirectly threatens to punish us if we don't do what they want. They use fear or guilt as a weapon and tactic. If they know we need money or security they threaten to take it away. They pressure to change your decision by extreme extreme negative consequences. The person then becomes scared and believes the threats of the blackmailers and then the blackmailer has full control of the relationship.
Some threats they use are:

Threaten to make things difficult if you don't do what they want.
Threaten to end the relationship
Threaten to tell your deepest darkest secrets
Threaten to find someone else
Threatens to hurt themselves or become depressed
Use money as a weapon to get their own way
Threaten that they will stop loving us
Threaten to take kids away
They label you as being selfish

The true reason they use this is because they fear they won’t get their way and they know they are losing the argument or relationship. I have noticed that most emotional blackmailers are extremely jealous and sometimes create visions of the other person cheating on them.
How would you respond to the respond to the other person's catastrophic threats?
