The passive-aggressive guilt trip
My mother is an expert in the guilt-trip. Last week she phoned to say "Happy Birthday" and, after a 10 minute conversation, finished with, "Well, I hope you have a nicer time than I did on the day you were born."
She also stated that she was going to kill herself when she reached 65. On Christmas Day morning. Having rung up to see if there was anything she could bring for lunch.
I think it's just a mother thing, but how good are your relatives and friends at the passive-aggessive?

passive-aggressive
My sister (who's not known for picking stable sane partners) found a genius looney in one of her recent relationships. He plied her with alcohol and drugs to keep her compliant, then said to me, "Come and visit". He then said if I tried to talk to talk to her, he'd shoot me with the shotgun under his bed.
Anyway, after a number of clandestine visits to the flat,and having rescued her from this situation, we found that he'd been threatening her with 2 sections of copper pipe gaffa taped to a fork handle. She still maintained she was threatened with a shot gun, but now, having shown her what a real shotgun looks like, she's now contrite. Crazy boy is now on remand
