Today, I went to a domestic violence counseling group. I was the only male there, and I explained that my girlfriend punches me in the face in front of my kids. Everyone started laughing. FML

OP here. Two of my sisters actually ended up beating the shit out of my now ex-girlfriend and moving me and my kids in with them. Kinda hard to defend yourself when you have muscular dystrophy and you spend most of your day in a wheelchair. But Thank GOD I'm done with that psycho-bitch. And **** those assholes at that therapy session.

I hate double standards. Abuse is abuse no matter what gender you are. Sorry OP :/

I hate when people think males can't be absurd

That is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard. Abuse is abuse, these women are absolute idiots if they can't understand that. OP, I'm truly sorry that you're being abused. I hope you can find the strength and courage to continue to seek help and support. If you ever want to talk, I'm here and not an ignorant woman like those chicks were.

Hope you and the kids can get away from her. Nobody should be abused and children should not be around an abusive parent. all the best for a better future.

That's horrible! They should take you seriously :(

That's horrible... Sad to see that support groups can't even try their best to help people..

That is disgusting. Abuse is abuse, no matter the gender roles. Every one there should go to hell and I am so sorry that you are going through this. I know it's hard, especially when everyone acts like it isn't a big deal. God bless you.

I have to say it is encouraging to see all these comments that denounce what that group did. I think it shows that a lot of people from around the world do not agree with the idea that men cannot be abused and think it is ridiculous that there are still people with such notions - we just have to make that work in practice with the law and things, but you have us on your side OP and hopefully things (in general) are changing or will change. I hope in 30 years people will look back at how men in these situations are treated, and see it the same way as we view women's minimal rights in divorce/and work etc. in the past.

I got an account today after a year of using this site. But that just gets under my skin. MAN OR WOMAN can be victims. You have one or two options. Hit her back(not in front of the kids) or leave her sorry ass. I'm a feminist that roots for equality. So if you punch her...lay her ass out.

I'm sorry. It's not funny at all it is disgusting and I hope you find the strength to get support elsewhere.

Sorry to hear, OP :/ It really sucks that people laugh at guys getting hit by girls. Just know guys like you have my support.
