Welcome to AbusedMen.org. This is a safe place for men who have been abused to come and share their stories, and to seek support and help in healing and moving on with their lives.
Please also note that this site is new. I'll be working out the kinks for a while as the member list grows and people provide feedback on what they'd like to see here.
The software this site uses (Joomla) requires a "name" for registration. Please do not feel obligated to use your real name. Entering your desired username for both the "name" and "username" fields is perfectly acceptable. You need to register to participate in the forum, but you do not need to register to simply browse this site.
Note: The forum is really the center of this site. Please visit the forum, and, if you're ready, let us know you're here.
It's not right that nearly one half of all survivors of domestic violence are marginalized due to disinformation and social beliefs about what a man should be. It is my hope that this site will help change that through informative articles, essays and discussion from survivors and their supportive friends and family.
If you are a male and have ever been abused by a partner, or are being abused by your partner, this is a place for you to come and share your story and seek support.
This is a list of resources for male survivors of domestic violence. Please visit the forum's "suggestion box" if you would like to add something.
A Voice for Men (Webmaster's note: It is important to me to point out that this site is anti-feminist. I do not agree with that mentality and I disagree with their definition of "feminism". I am including this link because they are doing something to speak up against female-on-male domestic violence, even if I think they are somewhat misguided or misinformed. Take from this site what you will.)
