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

I feel you should report the group to the right authorities. The entire group should be shown the videos (you can even find some on YouTube) that present proof that men can and are victims too

That's unbelievable. I'm so sorry OP. Abuse is never a laughing matter. It's things like this that make me lose faith in humanity. You'll get through it OP :)

That's definitely not okay. I hope you're able to work it out or get out of that for you and your children's sake.

Oooooh, I am so infuriated on your behalf! I really thought we were coming out of such abhorrent sexism. Stay strong, OP. I hope you can find a group which is actually supportive, and get the help that you and your children need. <3

Oh my gosh. That is horrific - that is so awful OP. I can't believe there are people like that. Especially in a group like that. I hope you find some people who understand and I hope you are able to get some proof too of the violence in case you decide to take it to court some day, as you do not deserve to be treated like that. It is sick. And even if you decide you don't want to say anything yet, getting some recording or something or statements might be helpful in case you change your mind in the future. That is just awful.
