They wait until there is serious damage which is usually too late.

There are millions of women and children in USA alone who are being abused. We can't help them all. All I can say for them is - try to find an understanding friend or relative to live with for a while until you get back on your own feet and to get your legal matter settled (filing domestic complaint against spouse, etc).

DV shelters and safe houses do not take men...only women and children. And they are carefully screened fpr substance abuse problems prior to intake.

Yes there are million abused women and children, but it the mother who needs to stand up against abusive husband or boyfriends to call out for help if she really want to get out of that abusive home she can always call the help hot lines. There are now more and more funding for abuse women and children to have a place at the shelters.

Oh, I'm poor. Get a job!

Oh, I have no money. Get a job!

Oh, I have no friends. Go meet someone.

Oh, no one likes me. If you keep talking like this, no one will like you!
