Spousal Abuse
(I prefer the term Spousal Abuse rather than Domestic Violence as domestic violence makes us think of physical abuse and even more specifically men abusing women. In reality, there are many types of abuse in families. While many more women then men are victims of physical abuse, men often become victims of emotional and verbal abuse. Male victims of spousal abuse have a great deal of difficulty finding support and tend to feel even more isolated then female victims.)
