Men are victims of domestic violence more often than you think | CBC Radio

Totally agree . Psychological Abused Alienated

As well.

We tend to think of domestic violence as abuse enacted primarily by men, against women — sometimes that assumption even guides policy. But Sarah Desmarais says it’s wrong. The forensic psychologist studies partner violence, and joins us to explain what the research shows.

When I read this I cried , things clicked ,

and I am in agreement ..he knew of my 5

His preference ..

I cannot tell you how my heart sings to witness

the Dad whose hands on, nurturing natures

support his partner , his child, himself and his

of it in my locality ; certainly noting the detached

uncle dad , that’s catalyst in transforming to sacred

attached relationships .

I’m a man and experiencing domestic violence | Family & Community Services

Shame silences many survivors , male especially .

I have seen much of this, know of cases , ongoing

and pray for transformation of this , so that men

are comforted , and supported in their healing .

Masculine healing has 2 more years of intensive

healing, however many are rising above their

abuse experiences , in part released by the opening

women began with #MeToo.

Abuse and Rape should be an exception , not the rule

and certainly not accepted as normal .

Men can also be victims of abusive behaviour. Here’s what you can do and how to get help

The Narcissist’s Defining Feature: A Lack of Empathy – 💯✔️✔️✔️

It was a heavy burden , holding the manifestations

of a definite lack of all natural emotions. Empathy

was so lacking , I was often triggered .

As the anniversary of our eldest’s birth is celebrated

by child and family , I am holding space , and allowing

to feel what is ..

The harshest experience followed 6 days after delivery .

Apparently marking his territory, after nursing

and joining him in bed , I was raped .

Through my pain, my compliance necessary

for safety .

My 1st fear was of another pregnancy .

My 2nd was my awareness , that I would not

finically be able to care for our new born, and

he was too ” married ” to his social status and his

money.

It was the 2nd time in marriage that he forced

sex , and later in therapy these rapes were dismissed.

It was difficult to understand , but he had a free

pass kinda life …Parents and money always got

him out of trouble ; his network included

Sports Car Club members , as well as groups I was

not aware of until 2007.

Shadow was his normal, laughter induced by alcohol

and in the 11 th year , in my breakthrough-breakdown

I accepted the abuse , returned from a hellish 17

days away from our children , determined to

shine my mother light , but became the wife

he wanted ..forsaking our sons .

Stepford ” wife” thus addicted to RX drugs legally,

sick beyond belief , for 5 extremely long years

I was so incapable , so reduced mentally and

physically , I often witnessed his dispassionate

disposal , horrified at the model for our children ,

all teens , each bearing the shame of his abuse.

And dependent as I was , on this man who grows

worse with time.

With the ending of what appeared for all to see,

his perfect fun relationship with a sweetie he

duped for 20 years , recreating the same karma

and with her reduced health , unable to work

she also knew the disposal of a man who values

only your output as it applies to him.

Think about boys who model this accepted ,

into manhood , affluent and connected , who

have a very shaky foundation , induced into

joining Dad , or loose his approval and connection.

It happened …

His compassion has allowed him to create many

illegal , inhumanities that have been absolved

by our state . By our society , by friends , and

family .

His .

That said , in his belief he would not be held

responsible for anything denies the facts .

It’s really been traumatic to fully accept his

disconnected self , over 42 years now ,

given the to god long ago.

I understand I am his target in his mind ,

and his every failure in 1 person , for several

reasons. Certainly it’s about money , however

his detachment spiritually , bonding with our

children , parenting being uber casual made

me the heavy. Responsible for every failure

in his victim status ..

Winner takes all , gravely abuses families

in the brother sister hood that ignored abusers .

And yes , lack of compassion is common in

securing legal support , psychological , medical

support , because it’s painfully traumatic to hear

the horror stories of C-PTSD , who’ve been duped

into believing they are mentally ill, induced into

mental physical states that render them

incapacitated, that they may be yet further

disadvantaged by their abuser .

Compassion ? Even basic humanity , is only

for show. Our sons have never witnessed his

abuse towards me ..only his dramatic lies

twisted , mangled lies in Family for 42 years .

Destroying all but him, a family fractured

for his happiness and ability to begin again

virginal , a path of abused and neglected souls

left in his return to mother .

Always mother who holds his heart, and compassion

and calm. Anger , rage and abuses never allowed

towards her , are missives to his beloved’s .

Holding these beliefs are his choice as not being

a silent scape goat is mine . In light of the

personal experience being far too common ,

and normalized in this country , acknowledging

the existence of the characteristics of a person

who does so much harm , will know universal

law , where human kind has become law.

His Hero Instinct And Why It Matters – Feeling Butterflies

I’m a seed planter , Dream Weaver, a woman of deep

faith , who sadly finds my efforts dormant in masculine

energy that sees need as a form of control.

I don’t ask for favors , and now have resources to locate

what I need for a specific issue. That’s less and less.

In my youth, the masculine had no chores , nothing but free

time. I was unable to discern the trauma of my brother

who was Casper around our house. His freedom was wide

open , gifts were noticeably focused on that , and I was

a very reluctant caretaker. I say reluctant , due to Mom’s

just do it example , and siblings resistance to my ineptitude

or my correctness, setting up a no win foundation on shaky

ground.

I went into my 1st at age 17 , with a boy who had many secrets

like brother..I had no idea how profoundly and deeply these secrets

pointed to trauma. It was hard to acknowledge , as I ended contact

with 1st after 9 months of not so wedded bliss.

A soul mate had major issues with fidelity , did not want to loose

me , and to break the soul mate connection , I married a 2nd time

exiting after 3 weeks , upon the realization of I was expected to

take the role of breadwinner , sex kitten…umm no.

Of course the hologram, that describes ” former” champions

secrets , in a mind -soul game he still thinks works.. Truth is

definitely not his forte’, and that is light to me. The official

moment of commitment , a shift began that I allowed was

a comfortable easy feeling. That, ended as our 1 st year brought

us our 1st child , leaving no doubt of his holding such shadow

that induced me to cleave into my child and domestic duties .

However , I rebelled or stood up , listened to his 3rd person

stories and slowly lost respect for his inability to rise over

the Peter Pan lifestyle ..Staying in C-PTSD with children

to raise , convincing myself I was in love to get through

things , compliant and hopeful in his self growth.. Sadly,

that hasn’t happened, and having based his future on a faked

past is the revelation that sets our family free .

I don’t have great expectations beyond that…it would be foolish

to consider all negatives ended , or wounds healed . Letting

go , surrendering this is not something that has ever been offered

me in fact , in truth , in forgiveness or love.. I will be willing

certainly to be part of healing reconciliation, when it is

important to the other party , whose over the blame and shame

cycle .

Secrets are deadly, and those whose way of life chooses this

path , don’t trust ..anything or anybody.. it’s very unbalanced .

My hero instinct is very real, I am not shy about saying .

How that’s received is variable, however without asking

in discussion , my needs are side stepped, ignored or deferred,

has been normalized in masculines around me ; as a strong

woman, I have or will have it covered …Complementing

and holding space , for imbalances to correct themselves

so masculine’s needs are met , he’s feeling supported and

not uneasy , or controlled ..

Transforming this is most welcome .. certainly it shall

aide in losing shame and projection of shame and blame.
