Episode 10: Fatal Attractions: Exploring the Reality of Male Victims in Abusive Relationships

Sugar and spice and everything nice are NOT what the women I'm bringing you in episode 10 are made of! Women are sometimes the abusers in a relationship. However, some men don't receive the support they need due to shame, ridicule and fantasy idealization of what "true" masculinity is. Male victims often suffer in silence in domestic violence. They are not supposed to be victimized by females and the stigma is completely unfair. In a few moments, you'll hear true stories of men who were beaten by the women who were supposed to love them. These couples didn't get a 'happily ever after.' Instead, they became very familiar with two places: prison and the morgue.
