Too black and white, to the disservice of victims
Heard this recommended by a YouTuber I follow. While I think Dina McMillan’s observations describe clinically diagnosable narcissists and psychopaths, I don’t think all abusers fall under those categories. The tactics and manipulative strategies she describes are abusive, but there are absolutely abusers who aren’t so Machiavellian and strategic about their tactics. I don’t think she captures the nuance or reality of these situations, and it is to the disservice of women who want to avoid abusive relationships. “Good” people can be abusive, too. By painting abusers as all-or-nothing monsters, she fails to help women identify when they are being abused and should leave a relationship, even if it’s with an otherwise “good” person. —signed, a domestic abuse survivor

For years I have been searching for a clear explanation of the abuser-victim dynamic and how “not” to be a victim. Dr. McMillan’s advice is “it” and more. I am sharing this information with other women. If we haven’t personally experienced domestic abuse, most of us know someone who has.
