Never Fear, the White Knight is here. We know your spiel, man bad, woman good. Look were sorry your Mum got beaten up and your father is a bastard, leaving you to hate your penis, but that doesn't translate into the reality of domestic abuse..
What about the men who suffer indefinitely because there is no one to ring, no system in place that even acknowledges the mental, emotional and physical abuse men regularly experience in intimate relationships.
Uh, no. That is not what I said.
You always take the extreme.
There are a lot men who take the abuse because they feel ashamed to go get help. Even when they do go get help, they often are hesitant, and even abrasive, because they feel that the person helping them has made up their minds about a man coming in for help. And what of domestic partners?
There is a system in place. Maybe not where you live. But in the US, in many states there are systems in place.
And no, my dad never hit my mother, I don't come from a family of domestic violence.
There are many differebt the different aspects domestic violence. Observing thesocial dynamics of it is key. Many times the son repeats the same behavior pattern as the abuser. And in many cases the mother sides with her son when he beats up his girlfriend/wife.
And if the mother has a daughter, in many cases, the daughter picks an abuser as a boyfriend. This is due to the mother condoning the behavior, and both parents/adults condition the children. Particularly when the mother has successive partners who abuse her.
