Really not sure if this is the right place so apologies if I am wrong here.
DH and DD clunked heads earlier and DH's nose bled so I looked up broken nose symptoms.
Went to NHS page.
I was quite surprised by what I read under the photo about it being a worrying sign on women and children due to DV. Obviously it is, but surely it's a worrying sign on men too? Or are we just to assume they've been in a fight?
Maybe I'm more sensitive to this as DH was abused (by his mother) and it continued long into his teens until she walked out, so in the last few years it would've been easy to assume his many broken bones were due to teenage fights, and not being beaten up. In his twenties, with zero self esteem (unsurprisingly!) he ended up trapped in an abusive marriage with a violent, manipulative woman.
I have no idea of statistics, and I guess male victims of DV must be in the minority, so maybe I am overreacting - but I would've expected an organisation as huge as the NHS would acknowledge that men can be victims of domestic violence too.
