I have been out with men who were terribly abused by their ex's - one was stabbed in the face and had a scar and later the same woman pushed him through a window and he permanently damaged his tendon in his hand. Another was bitten hard in a private place and had to have emergency surgery. Alot of men are too embarrased to admit it. |

I once knew a couple where he was abused. She would pick up wrenches and slug him repeatedly with it. It was horrible! He never would report it. |

It's not until it goes as far as this that men call for help. I sometimes wonder how many women really killed their "alleged abusive" spouses in self defense or in a fit of rage...dead men tell no tales.

Had she gone too far and killed him, would she have admitted her role as aggressor, or the victim...the latter I suspect. |

We have way to much violence these days...both sides. |
