Today, I went to a domestic violence counseling group. I was the only male there, and I explained that my girlfriend punches me in the face in front of my kids. Everyone started laughing. FML

OP here. Two of my sisters actually ended up beating the shit out of my now ex-girlfriend and moving me and my kids in with them. Kinda hard to defend yourself when you have muscular dystrophy and you spend most of your day in a wheelchair. But Thank GOD I'm done with that psycho-bitch. And **** those assholes at that therapy session.

I hate double standards. Abuse is abuse no matter what gender you are. Sorry OP :/

I hate when people think males can't be absurd

wow. my heart goes out to you dude. it sucks that these double standards exists, at least you got out of it now with the help of people who care about you. I wish more cases of this will be highlighted, because it's all too often just swept under the rug.

That is so wrong in so many ways. Don't let those assholes discourage you OP. What your girlfriend is doing is not right.

I just registered for this. Those are mean bitches at the group. Ask them if it would be as funny if you hit your girlfriend back. Then look for a better group. Hitting your partner isnt funny no matter which gender. Its abusive. I had a friend who got attacked by his wife all the time. Not cool.

That sucks! I don't get why people are always so down on guys who get abused by women or raped by them. It happens, but people think less of the man instead of the woman. It's stupid. I hope you gave them a piece of your mind after their laugh fest.

Sorry to hear that, abuse is abuse. Women can be very violent too, notthing to laugh about. Good for you for seeking help though!!

They laughed ???? Idiots. You need a hug, OP. There is nothing funny about the situation. Find a better support group! Good luck OP!

How could hit the "you deserved it" button? Nobody deserves that. And this is the reason why male domestic abuse victims don't speak up, because most of them know if they do, people will laugh at them and question their "manliness". But if they hit back in self defense, everybody calls him the aggressor. People who laugh at male domestic abuse victims should go **** themselves. I read your response, and your sisters did a good thing beating the shit out of that bitch, because nobody should ever punch their partner in front of their kids for any reason. I hope you get a restraining order soon.

Sorry OP. It's not fair either way. Try to receive counselling from someone who understands.

That sucks. If you'd laughed they'd have tried to murder you
