Silent Story: Domestic abuse and depression from a male perspective
Angebote / Angebote:
To the outside world I was a middle-aged man with a good career and a happy family life Yet, behind the façade I was a victim of domestic, emotional, financial and sexual abuse from my female partner. This account goes into detail of how it feels to be accused of a crime that was never committed and trying to escape the clutches of a violent female partner. Once the courage and decision were made to leave, the realisation that there were limited resources for male victims to call upon only cemented the problem further. This was also reinforced by the police who failed to recognise the truth and were blinded by policy over facts. Having spent most of my adult life hiding depression the events as they unfolded forced my secret to the surface. As a result, I was having to deal with my mental demons and trying to survive in a violent and abusive home. This is the story of how I was let down by the authorities and how I've managed to attempt to build my life again once I had the courage to leave.
