A Survivor

Men are abused by their partners, ex partners, other family members such as children and parents. This is a fact. The statistics are high. 34 men were killed by their partner or ex partner in 2007/2008.
Abuse can be physical, emotional, sexual or financial, regardless the affect on the individual is the same - "Devastating".
Men have rights too. Men have the same rights under the law as women.
Please comment if you feel you would like to tell your story or to respond to others.
Thank you and good luck.

  1. Hi My name is Jerry. I have suffered years of abuse too and have been helped by ESTEEM to finally stop it. It was great to meet someone who knew what I was talking about and help me through the process of sorting out my probl;ems. I am now coming to terms with things and getting on with my new life safe and happier.

  6. Hi Mike,
    I am so pleased you are finding ESTEEM of benefit, I am amazed how many men I have now heard from and am now helping. Perhaps a few more could offer support to each other on the blog. Keep up the good work Mike and I will see you very soon for a coffee and a catch up. Andrew
