they don't usually have shelters for men.
same as any other situation, leaving is the hardest part.
where do you go? what do you do? how do you eat/sleep?
figure out a plan so you can leave.

Answer 2

I assume that you are being battered and if so I must also assume that there seems little sympathy for a battered man because most police if called to a domestic arrest the man, no questions asked. It is a brave man who could physically stop an abusive woman and does not use violence in defense however It is also a lonely place to be.
I would phone a women's shelter or group that deals with marital abuses and ask them humbly for help. Then ask if they believe it is possible for a man to be the abused one. If they are men haters they may reject you so move on till you find understanding and tell them. If not go to a mentor or family Friend, someone you know and can trust and at least tell them and the dialog will start and do not stop until you are either free of the abuse or the problem is resolved. If there are children it can be an issue because the children all too often end up with the abusive mother and again it is because of inherent bias but if there are children the longer you wait the more abusive and confused they will also become and the pattern will grow in the community at large.

Answer 3

It is a fact that more woman are being abused than men, and society sees it that way, BUT there are men getting abused too. Take the exact same steps as a female would. Just because a man is usually larger, should make no difference if you can prove you've been hurt. A females has to do the same thing. Justice isn't being done, if an Officer is going by hear-say. If the Police are called in the state of WA., someone is going, either way. Call the local DV line, they will be happy to help you.

Answer 4

just look at some of the answers to my question about shelters for men its really sad.... If it were as equal as they wanted there would be mens shelters across town from the womens shelters...it should not matter about cost...or even if men are not as abused as women, there still should be somewere for battered men to seek shelter other than support groups and anger management projects. It really is an eye opener when you see how one sided this so called equality goes. I have a friend who is now in prison for assaulting his wife in defense, and the worst of it is she later laughed at how easy it was to get rid of him with the authorities on her side....she used many means to inflict pain and suffering on this poor bloke and when he finally had enough he shoved her , unfortunately she tripped and broke her wrist. dialed 911 and said he was out of his mind and was trying to kill her, when the police arrived they brought the childrens aid , a womens support worker, they rough the guy up and cuffed him, she got to go the shelter , froze his accounts and applyied for divorce....all for trying to defend himself from a control freak who knew she had the authorities to believe what ever she would say. And if you ever had the pleasure to talk with some of the feminazis who work at these shelters. you will also find that the majority of them believe women do not have the capacity to hurt a full grown man.. Men you are alone when it comes to society protecting you from women...you are at their mercy and never forget it.

Answer 5

Friends, Family, Doctors - there are people out there that help, but unfortunately not enough.
