Charming Men and Chauvinists

By Susan Jane Smith

A warning to women! A charming man can be very enticing. That is lovely. It can feel wonderful to have attention and adulation. Please check out your own self esteem just in case it needs work and not the kind of boost that flattery gives you.

Now I am not saying that only men commit domestic violence. Yes, women can be abusive too. What I do believe is that there is more of a mask when a man is charming - it hides a need for control. Aggression looks like control and can be easy to spot. Passive aggression is harder to notice. Charm can be so seductive that you don't even see the little signs of their need for control.

Charm is not the same as being a nice, kind, caring person. It is more pleasing and done to obtain the object of the man's desire. You may find it difficult to get out of that relationship so please take a long hard look before jumping in!

I became an author without ever having had any desire to write! Let me explain: I was a Psychotherapist in private practice and busy, but always short on time or money due to the labour intensive nature of the work. I meditated about how to get more money and the "answer" came back "write the book". Well, what to write? I had read you should write about what you know so I started to try to convey all that I had learnt in 20 years of my professional life! It took me six yeaers! It was a long time before I found "my voice" - my style. Chatty rather than clinical as I believe in trying to connect with people. I literally had to screw up all my courage to start writing as it was a new world to share my thoughts with people I did not know. My most important book "Emotional Health for Emotional Wealth" was started on a bit of chip paper in a car park! I made lots of notes on scraps of paper and eventually orgainised them and pulled it all together and that was how this particular book was born! I was asked to write "Pre-Marital MOT: A Relationship Inspection" and that too is based on working with hundreds of individuals and couples. "Sexual Abuse & Incest" and "Physical and Emotional Abuse Hurt the World as Well as The Child" are two of the twenty self-help e-books now available in my Little Book Series of Emotional Health for Emotional Wealth. I have 7 rescue cats and adore all cats so when I was wanting an idea to help fund raise for cat rescue groups I wrote "Harry's Home! A Cat Compendium". If you love cats too this is the book for you!
