[quote=Anonymous]As a DV survivor I've found DCUM to be a terrible place for support. As you can see above ^^plenty of people like to victim-blame rather than understand that abusers ar controlling, manipulative people. They isolate the victim, restrict finances, and manipulate to make the victim feel like s/he is the problem. I disagree that men & women are both <I>equally<\i> capable of abuse. Men are far more likely to be abusers for many reasons, but that's not entirely relevant to this discussion. OP, could you explain more about what you've witnessed first hand vs what you've heard about? What is your brother thinking and feeling regarding leaving his marriage? Does he have the financial resources to do so? Do you live close and could you provide child care or other support for him leaving? Does he self-report being a DV victim? Does he have insurance to pursue counseling? [/quote]
