Unfortunately, too many men think violence against women is an acceptable form of communication with their significant others, and that's unfortunate. How can we expect to build strong families if we allow this to continue? Women play a part in acknowledging when they are abused, but blaming the victim is too easy. Men need to step it up and in a serious way. Speaking from a male’s perspective, I can say that’s domestic violence is a problem with males as well, not just as the victims but perpetrators.

You are right by saying that abuse is multi-faceted. Often times the abuse continues once the woman (or man) has left the relationship. You provided great resources. Very good post.

It's important for more people to understand that abuse comes in many forms, more than just a blackeye or bruised arm... it is definitely emotional, mental, psychological and even sexual abuse. AND I think more people need to acknowledge that relationship violence is not a heteronormative thing, it happens in same-sex relationships, it happens where the female is abusing the male in the relationship. I think you did a great job laying it all out there! I think this is a good, informative post.
