Breaking the Silence: Why I Created a Course on Domestic Abuse Against Men

When we think of domestic abuse, most people picture a male perpetrator and a female victim. And while that scenario absolutely exists and deserves attention, there’s another side to the story that’s often ignored, dismissed, or outright denied:

Men can be victims too.

And they are, in heart-breaking numbers.

As someone who has lived through domestic abuse as a man, I know first-hand how invisible you can feel. I know the shame. The silence. The way the system seems to shut its doors. The way even your closest friends might look away or say, "Well, you must have done something."

But I also know this: it’s real, and it’s happening to far more men than you might think.

That’s why I created this course.

The Hidden Epidemic

In the UK alone, around 1 in 3 victims of domestic abuse are male. In the US, the CDC reports that 1 in 4 men experience some form of physical violence, sexual violence, or stalking from an intimate partner.

But those numbers only scratch the surface.

Because when men are abused, they often don’t report it.

They fear not being believed.
They worry they’ll lose access to their children.
They’re afraid of being seen as weak.
And in many cases, they are laughed at or dismissed when they do try to speak.

This kind of cultural silence leads to suffering behind closed doors — sometimes for years. Sometimes for decades.

What the Course Covers

The course "Domestic Abuse Against Men" isn’t a long, academic lecture. It’s short, powerful, and real.

Inside, I cover:

The different types of abuse men face: physical, emotional, legal, financial, sexual
The tactics abusers use (and how they’re often invisible to outsiders)
Why men so often stay silent and what finally breaks that silence
How society, the legal system, and even the media often fail male victims
Real case studies from men I’ve worked with and helped
Practical tools, insight, and next steps, so no one feels alone again

With 30+ modules, real-world experience, and resources for healing and support, this course is for:

Men currently in or recovering from abusive relationships
Family and friends trying to understand and support them
Therapists, coaches, and professionals working with male clients
And anyone who truly wants to understand the other side of domestic abuse

Let’s Break the Silence, Together

Abuse thrives in silence. And for too long, male victims have had no voice, no platform, and no place in the conversation.

Let’s change that.
