What kind of impact do the fluther answers have on people?

Recently there has been quite a few ‘relationship’ questions. People in different situations asking for advice.
I have seen encouragement to break up with friends, get a lawyer, etc. In various posts. ( I have offered my own words of wisdom).
I guess what I am asking is what is the impact? Is it good? Do people in the situation need a bit of help to see the light?
Or, are we offering advice blindly, without reference points, missing the other side of the story?
I’d like to think that we are doing more good than harm, that the person asking the question already has an idea if what to do and us seeking affirmation.
I’m not always sure….
What are your thoughts?
