Taking the advice(albeit well-meaning) can and does often result in being a Target, of Narcissistic Abuse. Our culture and society has become one that values PROFIT over PEOPLE. Therefore, much of the information we received, even from TRUSTED, WORLD RENOWNED SOURCES, is often "sugar-coated", "watered-down", and in some cases blatant deception by omission of very relevant terminology/language that would make it perfectly clear, that there was a clear and present, impending DANGER. In particular, dating. Including agencies that are supposed to be protecting women, and receive millions of dollars in funding, as well as, donations. They have been painting men with the broad stroke of "Abuser" and "Batterer" when in all actuality, these men may very well be Narcissists, Sociopaths, and/or Psychopaths. And, women are dying because of it. To imply that a woman "SHOULD JUST LEAVE" when the truth is, there is no place for her to go, INCLUDING DV shelters, is a crime, in and of itself IMHO
