More examples of manipulation: Making an issue you have with them seem like an issue with you (gaslighting) Asking for help at the last minute and informing you that they have no other options Telling a story that’s intended to evoke pity Leaving out critical parts of the story to persuade you to support them Withholding affection to get you to feel bad or change your behavior Using your relationship with them as a reason that you “should” do certain things; for example, “wives should cook,” or “you should see your mother every day.”
