I know there is more support for battered women, which is actually great!
But I want to bring up a sad topic - battered men.
I know there are quite a few battered men here, including myself. Often our inquiries for help are gone misheard.. granted that there are some men who cry wolf - that ruins it for every true invidual.
I feel that men are expected to tough it out, there is little to no support for battered men depending on the area (there is NONE in my area).
I am very afraid that the next battered man will become the next "number" in a long line. I hope I will not become a number, I am trying to make a difference in my situation already.
I want to ask you to please listen to a friend, or whoever you care about if they ask for help... pride hurts...
