How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved

What is a dangerous man? Most women would answer: one who is physically violent. But abusive behavior is often more insidious. Men who want mothers, not partners, who prey on lonely, passive women, who are mentally ill, addicted, or emotionally unavailable, or who won't go away when asked to leave all fall into this dangerous category. In this book women are encouraged to take responsibility for their own safety, are shown how to choose men wisely, and learn how not to make the same mistake twice. Thirteen chapters cover all the red flags of a dangerous man, offer stories of women's successes and failures dealing with each type, and provide safe ways to get out of a hazardous relationship. Armed with this valuable information, women have the tools they need to cultivate positive and healthy relationships with men.

Reviews:

Finally separated after 13 years in an unsuccessful marriage, I picked up this book to get my head straight before I set out to meet someone new. I found my exhusband in chapter after chapter and it gave me a great deal of peace to see that although I made plenty of mistakes, I was not alone. I was smart to draw the line in the sand where I did. What a relief to know I was not unjustified in my belief that something was 'wrong' with my husband! The first date I had after my separation was awesome: too good to be true. When I got home, I picked this back up and sure enough---there was my nice, ordinary date, with red flags all over. I'm done with dating for a while, but now I'm off to the hardware store to stalker proof my house. If you have a pattern of unhealthy relationships, I can't recommend this book highly enough, and I am being serious when I say it could save your life. It is easy to read, you won't feel stupid or ashamed, only much, much smarter when you are finished. - a mom and a librarian
