But, let’s check the most recent stats: On June 5, 2020, The Hotline released a two-page COVID-19 Special Report covering data from March 16 through May 16. It shows that among 62,413 contacts to The Hotline nationwide, 15% were male, 78% were female, and the remainder were unknown or other. Before that: In 2013, 13% of documented contacts to The Hotline identified themselves as male victims. - National Domestic Violence Hotline I’ve volunteered for an organization that had, among other things, a hotline for either gender to call. The VAST majority of callers has always been women. What you say isn’t true anywhere for any major hotline in the country. You don’t have to lie to try and make a point.

I know a woman married to a man for over 20 years they have 8 kids together and he is showing signs of mental decline. My grandma developed Alzheimer's and I watched her deteriorate until she passed. This woman's husband reminds me of when my grandma started declining. He gets confused, he's argumentative, he gets super defensive and he's abusive. Two of the oldest girls, 14 and 16, had to call the cops because the dad was kicking the 16 year old after he had pushed her to the ground. I wish the mom would leave this jerk, but neither of the parents have had a job for years. It's a terrible mess. The mom truly believes a miracle is going to happen. But sometimes, a miracle is getting away from a monster.. I don't know. I'm just there for the kids and I tell them that they can ALWAYS call me if they don't feel safe or need a ride. 😢 Really, the only reason I have anything to do with them is so I can make sure the kids are safe otherwise I wouldnt have anything to do with these foolish people

Not so easy to leave. Yes they should, many who try are often killed by their abuser. Why don't you tell the abusive men to alter their behavior and not telling the women they have to solve the problem themselves? Laying the problem on women's shoulders is typical of society's idea that women should fix the issue. Put the blame and responsibility on the abuser. Asking "why didn't she leave? " is focusing on the wrong person; that is a victim blaming mentality. Yes the abused should keep themselves safe ASAP, but let's focus the abuser who is responsible for the problem in the first place.

@@Whatorwellsaid21 As a survivor of domestic violence (DV) myself, I agreed with your first comment. You were spot on there. But the truth is that it's not as easy as simply drawing a hard line. The truth is that for many survivors of DV, we've been conditioned at some point within our lives to believe that we needed to accept the abuse, and that we deserved to be treated this way. Healing only comes when we learn to love ourselves enough to realize that we do not deserve this, and learn to walk away. But, even then, we have years of unlearning the negative patterns we were taught make for healthy relationships, but in reality only lead to further abuse. On every level we could want the abusive relationships to end, and to want to step into healthy relationships, but until we're actually taught what constitutes a healthy relationship, we will never know what to look for so that we can find them. Thus, it is *never* as simple as simple as drawing a hard line, because even after that hard line is drawn, we still have to learn what healthy relationships look like. To say that her failure to draw a hard line "is what lead to this," is to ultimately victim blame, and fail to understand the true complexities of the cycle of abuse.

Don't let them think that their values are validated by other people and by marriage. They define their own values by taking care of themselves and that's it. Don't panic if other people criticize you for being selfish when you're just protecting your peace.

I was 12 years in an abusive relationship. I finally ended up going to a crisis center, was hospitalized, and put in group therapy. I was terrified. Fear of the future and unknown is the worst. I had him removed from my home, that I alone owned, three months after that. It was the best thing that ever happened! It's now 30 tears later, I'm married to a kind, patient, and loving man, and I am so grateful for my life. Your abuser does not, in anyway, deserve you.

A couple ladies at my husband's old church left their abusers, and it was infuriating how some of the churchgoers responded. They both got shamed for not being able to pray and fix them, and they thought they should stay with abuse and with kids there. Some even gave out their new addresses behind their back.

To the people judging those who don't leave an abuser: I guess you've never had someone love bomb you, act like someone they aren't, trick you and then brainwash you into thinking that the horrible person they are slowly becoming is _your fault_ so that you stay, try changing everything about yourself so that they will go back to the person you once married in the beginning or, a new person who's your partner and lover who will grow *with* you. And all the while this is slowly creeping in, insidiously, your self esteem is being slowly chipped away at, little by little, inch by inch, insult by insult; neglecting touching you, refusing to sleep with you, guilt and shaming you, raging at you so that you are terrified of them, spending all *their* money while you slave next to them unappreciated and unnoticed, addicted to the business so that work becomes their mistress, isolates you from friends and family and blames YOU. All of this to the point that you want to die, all while still trying to show them you love them by putting up with their crap....thinking that if they see you suffer...they'll *finally* GET it, they'll see the depths of your love and willingness and change. They have convinced you it is YOUR FAULT. All of it is your fault. Thank your lucky stars that you haven't gone through this. And I pray God softens your heart. You have no idea. Someone who has an idea would never judge another person who's gone through utter HELL. I'll say this: as soon as I saw clearly that what I was experiencing was abuse, I left. Many people are so damn snowed by the twisting, lies, gaslighting, word salad, beat down by severe neglect, isolated from *everyone* that their reality is so small and they have nothing to compare it to, only what they're IN and what their abuser *TELLS* them....that they _don't see it._ This was my story. 14 years of it. Free almost 4 years, married to an amazing man God miraculously sent me and I have more joy and peace than I could ever have dreamed of having ♥️💕 Only by the Grace of God.

We are only now as a society understanding a fragment of the horror and tribulación women suffer, withstand in abusive relationships. And mothers... This woman took a beaten to still give her sons what she was told was the best. No one acted on her defense for 34 years. For other reasons i wished so much that my mom would've leave my dad but she couldnt. 😢 I hold no grudge or debt. If anything i blame my dad for not giving her financial fredoom and support AND for being am asshole overall to a beautifull person, as also ground up family members that failed to support her.

Sometimes women return to get stuff and they end up dead. This finger breaking guy is obviously dangerous. Please get everything together that you can’t live without- like pictures, birth certificates, clothes, etc. and when you leave- leave only once knowing you will never be back. Everything else can be replaced but you cannot. God Bless you❤️

If they followed God, they would be focused on exposing sin and repentance, not reconciliation, in marriage, like Jesus does. Not too much content like this from him even though it affects over 25% of marriages. They make it obscure and confusing for a reason, because they idolize marriage. Abuse should be specifically lined out and very clearly articulated to where there is absolutely zero question as to what their stance is on it. Just my two cents.

Now I’m an adult woman, have a man giving me everything I want (a ring, a house, his commitment, desire to have a family w/ me). And I am terrified. I ran far away. I sabotage and find every small reason I can to avoid getting “stuck” like she did. Healing this pain is incredibly hard. The fear is overwhelming to the point I only want to focus on my job.

Ann, I was in your shoes for six years, and fortunately was able to get out. I worried about everybody but myself and thought it was my responsibility to slink around behind him and fix everything. He even took me to a church so they could teach me to be a better, more submissive wife and at one point is was institutionalized due to "anxiety disorder". Please, Ann, you can do better. And BTW, I fear for the wives of her sons.

Yes! Those sons should not be allowed to date or have sex with any woman without a thorough mental health screening and criminal background screening. I pray they don't ever have kids. Intergenerational Trauma and Abuse just gets passed on with each generation.

Yes, makes me so angry when people say “what about your marriage vows?” Also the “abusers can change”. Both are true but what about safety, and the children’s futures, your mental well being, happiness, etc. etc. etc. Often women who are abused, are blamed for the abusers lack of self control.

I feel so much for this strong woman. I grew up watching my father abuse my mother physically. I also ask her why she didn’t leave sooner. The saddest part is every time she finally got out, my 2 older siblings would cut her out of their lives for leaving their dad. She would come back to keep her kids and grandchildren in her life. She’ll be 58 this year and she does now have a relationship with my brother but sadly she never had the relationship she wanted with my sister who passed away in October. He’s such a POS, he tried to use my sister’s death to reel her in once more. I’ve cut him out of my life do to the abuse he put me through growing up and my life has only gotten better, my mental state is improving and I feel free from him, finally

Just a reminder that the most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when the abused finally leaves. Be smart, be safe. You deserve more.

Very true my ex showed up where i was staying when i left after 40 yrs , unannounced , he knew i was alone , drunk with a loaded 9 mm i was so low i just told him i am not going back if you want to kill me just do i don’t care either way i will not be going home. He left thankfully but he also left a shell casing on the kitchen counter for what i don’t know as a scare tactic a reminder i don’t know. But i am finally free of his lies cheating emotional and physical abuse. Life is a struggle but i will survive.

Omg... I pray this caller gets out of this situation quickly and safely. I'm so sorry she and her children had to live like this for so long. Sadly, by listening to whatever dr. said it's better for the kids to grow up with a father, she allowed her kids to grow up with a monster. I really pray that her sons do not carry on in their dad's ways toward their families.🤦🏽♀️

This call made me cry. I often question myself for staying with my abusive ex for more than a decade. It's so sad...what they are behind closed doors differs so much to they really are that you feel like you are losing your mind.

Yeah, he knew you wouldn't leave just before the wedding so he thought he could do what he wanted. It's like abusers who behave even worse on a trip because you're trapped there. It's true we were told kids need a father but if you stay, you teach them that families are all about abuse.

Such a precious lady. Bless her. Why do sweet women like this spend a whole life being abused. I took care of women in nursing homes who spent 40, 50, 60 YEARS with ugly men and then they die alone in a nursing home. God bless her again.

My friend stayed in an abusive marriage because…… Bible. Now she’s passed away from cancer. Her final days were spent putting up with more of his BS and him blaming HER for getting cancer. Said she got it because she wasn’t living right. 😥

People at church were saying the same thing behind my family member's back when she got terminal cancer. People are sick. In her case, she had just gotten remarried after leaving an abuser/cheater and was judged for it. I am happy at least that she got a couple years of love after 30 years of crap.

Dr. Delony. Please ask Dr. Laura Schlessinger to come on your show. She wrote several books inclucing: 10 Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives. She said there are 3 things that she believed justified divorce: Abuse, adultery, addiction.
