Excellent!!
In addition DOMESTIC ABUSE AND RAPE does NOT only happe to women by men. Men are abused all of the time! Men have the right to seek help too and very well should. You are not weak by stepping forward. Get help.

Thanks, LuvGod, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about this! It happens to men by women. It happens to women by women, and it happens to men by men.

If you or anyone else knows about any kind of support group/hotline/services that is sensitive and helpful for men who have been victims of domestic abuse, violence, or rape, PLEASE DO POST IT HERE!!
