Make us lose our cool
Force us to do things we don’t want to do
Prevent us from doing what we want or need to do
Use coercion or manipulation to get their way
Make us feel guilty if we don’t “go along”
Make us feel anxious, upset, frustrated, depressed, jealous, inferior or defeated
Make us do their share of the work.
