Does anybody know of a specific group for male victims of DV? Or is this the correct subreddit for this? Thanks in advance....

This is extremely saddening to read. My wife was horrendously domestically abusive and manipulative. She wanted to have children but I refused on the principle that I could not in all good conscience bring a child into the world with a mother like my wife. I’m sorry that you didn’t have a good maternal influence, the value of that is so important to me. As I grow older the more respect, affection and unconditional love I have for my mother. The love and support my mother has shown to me has been astounding and I’m sorry to say I haven’t always been a good son or appreciated the sacrifices she made for her children but I am trying. There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t appreciate the enduring love and support that my mother has shown to all of her children. I am very thankful and grateful to be blessed in that way. Although my life has been awful at times a constant, an anchor in my life has been my mother. She has a gift and a faith. My thoughts are such that I don’t feel worthy of her support or her faith. But I am trying to follow in her footsteps, because she has given me a chance in faith that I cannot deny. It’s only taken me 40 years to realise! But I guess we’re all a work in progress. I hope you find some peace and purpose.
