Male friend suffering domestic violence

[mumda]

He's a yoyo-er and keeps going back. Last time he was at hospital for something else and they asked why he was so bruised. He couldn't tell them as she's an emergency service worker.

He's back at his mum's and is safe unless she gets him to go back.

What help is there for men? Does the freedom program help? I know nothing about that to know if it's the right thing to suggest.

He needs to contact Mankind at mankind.org.uk. They can and will help him. He needs to stay away from her because he is not safe.

She does need to be reported to the police even though she is an emergency health worker. Abuse thrives in secrecy so bust this wife open and let her face the consequences. Women can be abusers too and it’s likely she grew up in a violent home. It’s no excuse though for how she has treated him.

She'll start alledging that he is the abuser as soon as she gets a whiff that she is in trouble. The police will assume this is in fact the case. Best thing is for him to leave.
