When we think of abuse we automatically think of women.
Women are always the victims. This is what I learned growing up. Men can never
be the victims, and men are often portrayed as the perpetrator. So this is an
interesting article that includes some confession that men made about emotional
abuse. One of the confessions mentioned that when one man told someone about
what he was going through they told him to “man up,” which is sad because we
are taught as a society that men can’t show any emotions. There are so many
resources provided for women who have been abused, but for men there aren’t as
many. We don't typically talk about men who are abused. It's as if it’s some
sort of taboo. We need to bring awareness that abuse works both ways. No one
deserves to be mistreated.
