Often, it's believed that only women can suffer from domestic violence, this is a tragic myth. There was a man who was abused by his wife, she smacked him in the mouth, ran her car into his truck in a rage, etc. When he tried to call a domestic violence crisis hotline for help, the woman on the phone thought he was pranking her, just because he was a man. To me, that's absolutely insane. Many men who suffer like he did stay silent for years, because they fear they won't be believed.

Those in charge need to start listening closer to the men in these situations.

I think a lot of stuff happens to men but it's in man's nature to stay silent.
