Alex used to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. Too scared to scream in case he was heard. He can't forget the beatings he used to get nor how if he told the police they only arrested him; therefore making his physically-smaller-girlfriend as powerful as the full police force. He knows that a woman is very powerful when all she has to do is phone the police and they are only too willing to abuse any man that she decides to abuse.
He had children and wanted to stay for their sake but also it was made clear to him, time and time again, that men don't get help from the authorities. A male victim of domestic violence has two options, 1 stay and be abused or 2 leave and pay 18 years, 'child support' to his abuser. The present institutions are set up expressly to give support to women no matter how abusive those women are. This has to change.
Eventually Alex had to leave after the stabbings. He didn't even leave for his own sake but rather he felt that it was damaging for his children to see him abused that way. The police, as usual did nothing. Now, his children are left with the woman who stabbed him.
Alex's story is far from unusual; in fact it's usual for women to make up for size by using weapons.

Home abuse in Northern Ireland is very much

Matters:
Child abuse
This shows the truth; that's it's mothers who commit most, by far.
Illegal_to_have_fun?
Why has it been illegal for men to have an orgasm without paying women for the, 'privilege' of doing so?
