Men Too May Suffer from Domestic Violence
Nearly three in 10 men have experienced violence at the hands of1 an intimate partner during their lifetimes, according to one of the few studies to look 1 domestic violence and health among men.
“Many men actually do experience domestic violence, although we don’t hear about it 2 ,” Dr. Robert J. Reid of the University of Washington in Seattle , one of the study"s authors ,told Reuters Health. “ They often don"t tell 3 we don"t ask. We want to get the message out2 to men who 4 experience domestic violence that they are not alone and there are resources available to 5 .”
The researchers asked study participants about physical abuse and non-physical 6 , such as threats that made them 7 for3 their safety, controlling behavior (for example, being told who they could associate with and where they could go),and constant name-calling.
Among men 18 to 54 years old, 14.2 percent said they had experienced intimate partner 8 in the past five years, while 6.1 percent reported domestic violence in the previous year.
Rates were lower for men 55 and 9 ,with 5.3 percent reporting violence in the past five years and 2.4 percent having experienced it in the past 12 months.
Overall, 30.5 percent of men younger than 55 and 26.5 percent of older men said they had been victims of 10 violence at some point in their lives. About half of the violence the men 11 was physical.
However, the physical violence men reported wasn’t as harsh as 12 suffered by women in a previous study;20 percent to 40 percent of the men rated it as severe, compared to 61 percent of 13
Men who reported experiencing domestic violence had more emotional and mental health problems 14 those who had not, especially older men, the 15 found.

When I was 13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant 21 Miller King, who was the best 22 at our school.
Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for 23 .
Just before September, Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from 24 . He looked very 25 , but he didn’t cry.
That season, I 26 all of Miller’s records while he 27 the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, 28 I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s 29 .
One afternoon, I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller 30 going over a fence—which wasn’t 31 to climb if you had both arms. I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept 32 from. But even that challenge he accepted. I 33 him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally 34 on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did 35 .Thank you for filling in for 36 .”
His words freed me from my bad 37 . I thought to myself, how even without an arm he was more of a leader. Damaged but not defeated, he was 38 ahead of me. I was right to have 39 him. From that day on,I grew 40 and a little more real.
