Examples

“Patience is a virtue, but those who are hyperpatient or hypertolerant risk⟳ inviting abusers to treat⟳ them like⟳ a doormat.”

“Other women will find⟳ some of the behaviors of mentally ill men similar to those of emotional predators, emotionally unavailable men, addicts, or abusive/violent men they may have⟳ dated. These are men who could be diagnosed with a pathological disorder such as antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, or narcissistic personality disorder, or with a chronic disorder such as posttraumatic stress⟳ disorder (perhaps related to combat). […] Women who are drawn to these types of men are often women who are themselves thrill seekers, who prefer⟳ a high-speed and exciting life, who like⟳ the dramatic ups and downs that "keep⟳ life interesting," who have⟳ a little "edge" to them, or who have⟳ their own⟳ histories of crime, addiction, or mental-health issues. On the other hand, it isn't totally unusual to find⟳ mild-mannered—even passive—women who like⟳ these particular "bad boyz." Perhaps it is their way of "taking a walk⟳ on the wild side." Looking at your patterns—and determining whether one or both of the adults who raised you were mentally ill—may help⟳ you see⟳ which type⟳ of mentally ill man you are likely to select⟳ in the future or have⟳ selected in the past. The bottom line is that a mentally ill man must find⟳ women who will disregard his disruptive and sometimes pathological behaviors and erratic lifestyle. He needs a woman who is hyperpatient or hypertolerant and who is willing to forego normalcy for him. Alternatively, he will find⟳ women who like⟳ the chaos and instability wrought by mental illness.”
