How To Spot A Dangerous Man is actually a book that I have already read, but I refer to from time to time, and felt it was good timing to share it during my "Women's Issues That Scare Me" series. I will be referring back to this book, site and articles from time to time, because it seems to me too often women find themselves (myself included) in trouble financially due to allowing a dangerous man into our lives.
It is important that women realize that men (or women) in our lives do not have to be physically harmful to us to be dangerous. The book descibes 8 types of dangerous men, gives defense strategies and red alert checklist for each, and includes stories of successes and failures. (Maybe I should do a couple a day? Er- that came out badly...)
I found this book incredibly compassionate while at the same time helping women take responsibility for being in the situation, or maybe even worse, returning to bad relationships over and over again, instead of learning to see the warning signs and be able to stand on our own two feet with healthy boundaries, and deal with the real issues.
