A male victim of domestic violence

Yes I know we rarely seem to hear about them and there are precious few places for them to get help, if indeed they're believed in the first place, but here's one who seems to be moving on after his ordeal:

Quote:
A man, whose ex-girlfriend left him with life-threatening injuries, has spoken for the first time about the domestic violence he suffered.

Mark Kirkpatrick, who's 30, was found on a street in Lancashire seven months ago after his former partner Gemma Hollings attacked him with a pole, hammer and a glass bottle.

She was jailed in October for eight years over the attack.
Let's hope more male victims of violent assault, controlling behaviour and emotional abuse at the hands of their female partners come forward and make themselves heard.
