[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 726166, member: 6705"] I think this is a good idea in theory but a lot of people would be surprised, no, shocked to find out how many WOMEN abuse... Men, children, other women... Does not matter. But if a man reports abuse, he's laughed at, told to "man up", and of course if he defends himself (and if he doesn't) he's arrested and labeled the abuser. Not always, of course. But quite a lot. This doesn't make light of the fact that many men do abuse women. I don't know that I could have lived with myself if Bill had actually hit Rose, Pat or Belle. Me, maybe. As I said, I felt I had no one to talk to about any of the issues - and at one point, I very much WAS frightened. But I went back. And things changed. They usually do not. [/QUOTE]
