Dad Starting Over

Everyone’s talking about this Taylor Frankie Paul situation right now, but the part that never really gets discussed is how often men end up on the receiving end of this kind of behavior and nobody takes it seriously.

I’ve had plenty of guys tell me stories about their wife hitting them, throwing things, screaming in their face, threatening them… and they don’t even label it as abuse. They just see it as part of being in a bad relationship, part of their culture ("Hey... we're Italian") ,or they assume they must have done something to deserve it.

That’s the part that sticks with me. A man gets hit and instead of people asking if he’s okay, the first reaction is usually, “what did you do?”

I’m not pretending women don’t experience abuse. Obviously they do. But the idea that men can’t be victims, or that it somehow doesn’t count when it happens to them, keeps a lot of guys stuck in situations they should’ve walked away from a long time ago.

Nobody’s coming to rescue them. Nobody’s starting a campaign on their behalf.
At some point, a guy has to be honest with himself about what’s actually happening in his own home.
