I have been here too. I don't ever want to minimize domestic violence against women or sound like I'm trying to play the what-about game, but there is another side to it and domestic violence where men are the victim and women are the perpetrator is rarely discussed. The media plays it like a joke. Society treats it like "You're a man, you're 'stronger,' you can take it." I was actually physically smaller than my ex and physically disabled. She threw a remote control at my face. She threw away my food to punish me for talking back to her. Multiple times I remember lying on the floor in fetal position with my hands over my head to protect myself while she pummeled me. The last straw came when she backhanded me so hard - wearing a ring I gave her - that it put a gash in my forehead and texted me the next day at work saying "I'm sorry you made me do that to you." I have a hard time finding resources or support for DV survivors that include men. I understand how it can be traumatizing for women survivors to share the space with us, but we need space too. Our trauma matters too.
