Toxic relationships are not ok. Abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions (including gaslighting), or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that frighten, intimidate, terrorize, manipulate, hurt, humiliate, blame, injure, or wound someone.The harsh reality is that there are too many victims whose lives are destroyed through physical abuse, emotional abuse, or coercive control. The victims are statistically mostly women. But there are still cases of men who have been abused and they deserve justice too. There is an imbalance in the way we respond to cases of abuse, when the victims are men. It is men who are commonly portrayed as the perpetrators, the abusers, and those males who claim to be victims of abuse, are often not believed nor are they afforded the same justice. This is one man's story. Please reserve your judgement until you have read it!'
