All forms of abuse need to be addressed, and dealt with on a serious level. When women abuse men, most likely the woman gets away with it, and it escalates to murder. It is more often than we think. The police automatically believe the MAN is the perp. And women are more often the murderers of Innocent children too. Public opinion needs to change!

This is a interesting point you have brought out, and I think it is one that I hadn't really gave a lot of thought to, until now.hum something to really think about now. take care.

meme:
I've done some work for domestic violence shelters, and you're absolutely right! There are a significant number of men who are abused, but say nothing because they don't believe anyone will believe them. Or worse, when they speak out, they are the ones arrested. Sadly, men who are abused often are too ashamed to tell anyone that it is happening. The public and our legal and public protection systems need to wake up and see that women aren't automatically always the victims of domestic violence...they are also the perpetrators.

How horribly alone and unloved these victims like Bruce must have felt. The woman he was divorcing had abused him, and HE was arrested when he held her arms down once. SHE was attacking HIM. ______________________________________________________The murderer worked as a court reporter and has bragged she would "take everything he had ever worked for, kill him, and get away with it"- since she is a woman. They fought over the property settlement for two years! Now the murderer is living in Bruce's home (on house arrest)!

The issue of the MEN being abused is NOT exposed enough. I learned this through my best friend. She got out from abuse and is now helping other women get out of it. This sick abuse is in ALL relationships, gay, straight, men, etc. I think 1 key is doing the volunteer work as my friend does. Helping the shelters financially if we can, and giving support to those who work there, even if it's only verbally we can contribute, by encouraging them. Thanks for listening.

Other types of abuse, such as verbal and emotional, can be very damaging also. I'm a survivor of these 2. It takes a lot of work to heal from these, and they should be taken as seriously as physical abuse. ANY abuse at all is wrong: physical, verbal, sexual, emotional.

Behind the doors in all levels of society lie the abusive, evil monsters that fool everyone outside the home. Anyone who sees abuse and does not help the victim, has blood on their hands. The threats, take them seriously and report each and every threat to the police. If your relative or friend is being threatened or abused, GO WITH THEM to report to the police. If the victim doesn't go to the police, go yourself. Report that crime! That might be the one thing that SAVES THE VICTIM'S LIFE. I wish that I had.

Meme sounds like you have visited my website. NO not really, it is just my conclusion, that there are many in abusive relationship, and many do want out, yet stays for whatever reason, some because they hope the person will change, some because they are ashamed and scared, in my case I was told she was trying to get out, but didn't know how are what to do, when I asked why didn't you tell me? she replied I was ashamed because of my lack of judgement and what you would have thought of me. yet even today, I think about what would have happen had she told me. I know and believe my grandbaby would be here, I can not see myself knowing a situation going on such as abuse and not stepping in, yet when the talk was flowing, not only did they make her look bad, but man it was all I could do to hold myself up hearing it. so I guess what I'm saying is, this thing effort all of us in the long run, one way or the other. take care all.

Wordup, holding on is all we can do sometimes. How can anyone do the things to our loved ones that they do? They choose to be evil. What you have gone through is beyond what we as humans should ever have to suffer. An innocent child to suffer and be put in an oven? My God, how SICK!!! _________________________________________________ People do not want to believe that the one you live with is capable of murder. Juries do not want to believe that a woman is capable of such evil. I think a woman can be more sadistic, more vicious. Look at Lizzie Borden, she was not even convicted! She and her sister took their parents money and bought a victorian mansion to live a very comfortable life! ___________________________________________________ In my case, Bruce was murdered over the property settlement in his divorce. People kill over money every day. It's disgusting. Bruce's murderer has been making money by selling off Bruce's antique & muscle car collection, his tools, his flatbed truck, etc. The murderer needs the money to pay her DEFENSE ATTORNEY! Using Bruce's money to defend his murderer! There ought to be a law. Bruce doesn't even have a headstone, all his money goes to the murderer and her daughter? There should be a freeze of that property til AFTER the trial. I hope the defense attorney takes the house and every penny, and the murderer gets life. Death is too good for murderers.
