You'll have to elaborate on that because I don't know what you're talking about.

That article was written by a lady who had a very terrible childhood.
It was not written by me.
You said that in your first post.

Why don't you get off my back and read it?
Since you haven't explained just how I'm on your back that's very difficult.
Must be my lack of heaping accolades on your ultimate solution to "Charmer/Abuser"s?
I have read it, twice as a matter of fact.

She was abused by her father all her child life, he was a single
parent, dressed her in long dresses and boots, cut her hair short
and ragged...didn't want anyone else to want her.

It ended when she ran to her Uncles farm to escape him, (in south USA)
and he knew what was happening but said to her you better go home
there is nothing he could do. Her father had been shooting at her
with a shotgun as she was running away.

She went home he threatened to rape her with the shotgun. By then
she had no where to go for help, was so depressed and angry that
she said to him, go ahead and shoot me, I'd rather die than ever have
you touch me again.

His jaw dropped and she said she saw a change in him eyes. She had
touched a nerve.

That night he shot and killed himself.
A sad childhood is experience in one situation, not credentials.

Now she is one of the best counselors I have ever met.
That may be true, I have no way to judge her counseling ability, only comment on what you posted which I suspect is advice on a specific situation.
As general advice, I would question a number of points she made.

And, she was long winded.
