What is emotional blackmail?

Emotional Blackmail: Definition

Emotional blackmail is when someone manipulates you, whether openly or indirectly, through threat. In other words, if you do not do what the person wants, they will make you suffer. Emotional blackmailers may make you feel like you owe them, or that if you do not do what they want you to do, they will take away their love or approval.
