Emotional Blackmail Discussion on Facebook

Good Friend (who happens to be taking the Texas Bar Exam now):
I hate Emotional Blackmail! Why not just make it official by attaching a monetary demand?

Jennifer (your Blog host & author):
I know I'm late to the game on this one, but make yourself impervious to guilt and you become untouchable where Emotional - and for that matter, Monetary - Blackmail are concerned. I should know: I have years of experience as both the perpetrator and the victim. The presence or absence of guilt becomes either your own personal Kryptonite or your "Get Out of Jail Free" card!

Guilt is good if it brings conviction; bad if it breeds shame.
