This has nothing to do with hating men. This is about loving yourself! If you love yourself and are responsible for yourself then the abusive men won\’t stand a chance with you and the respectful men will be the ones you attract. This blog was well written and I totally agree with everything you said. Thank-you !! i plan to show this to all my friends, gals AND guys. and definitly to my daughters !!

god i so agree about the financial independence. i live with a man twice my age that fully supports me and i put up with so much of his neurotic insecurities and BULLCRAP that i would NEVER put up with otherwise!! i hate it!!! i wish i could support myself but im not out of college yet, its really hard to find a job that will pay all of my bills myself, and my parents cannot support me. im afraid if i leave ill be on the streets. THIS SITUATION SUCKS, ITS NOT WORTH IT, DONT LET A MAN FULLY SUPPORT YOU!!! You have no say-so in anything for fear of being kicked out!!!

You may have single-handedly saved my relationship! my boyfriend has been encouraging me to be more independent because he recognizes how my happiness has started to revolve around our relationship. we have been arguing a lot, and this has caused me to become terribly depressed. but i am already starting to feel more independent after exercising some of your tips, and our relationship is now better than ever! i cannot thank you enough!
