Women Are Not The Only Victims/Suriviors Of Domestic Abuse, It Can Also Include Men and Children...

According to statisitcs woman are not the only victims/survivors of domestic violence. It is reported that as many as 40% of domestic violence victims are men. That is nearly 2 of 5. 
Most men do not report the abuse as they aren't taken seriously according to studies.
Abuse can be physical, verbal and/or mental. It can also affect you in more ways than just physical. It wreaks havoc on you in so many ways and it can also affect your children even if they aren't being hit. It can cause your children some of the same emotional issues as the one being abused as you will read below.The physical of being hit can leave you with broken bones, bruises, and organ issues from the force of the hitting, the bruises and bones many heal, but the emotional affects are there long after the body heals if you survive  which I hope you do. The other physical/emotional/mental issues can cause vomiting, night terrors, night sweats, anxiety, panic attacks, bedwetting, withdrawing, brokenness in your emotions, uncontrollable crying when you least expect it, anger from you at others even when they haven't done anything wrong. The list goes on and on in how it can affect you, your mind, your body, your future relationships, your relationships with family and/or friends, etc can all be affected due to abuse. Please get out while you can. Abuse affects more than just you.
