The last question you ever ask a victim is why didn't they leave. Do you know how convinced they've become that they deserve that treatment or that they did aomwthing to cause it? That shame keeps them silent so often. I'm so glad this man did get free and that he is safe now and either knows his own worth or is continuing to learn that as he heals.

[@tasticola]

Agreed. Bloody ambulance chasing TV presenters! 😢

[@DistilledVoice]

Can't expect nothing less from those fools.

[@Sindrijo]

If you've never experienced abuse first hand, know someone that has experienced it or let alone seen a documentary about the 'abuser process' you could be forgiven about being confused and ignorant about the subject because on face-value it just seems preposterous why someone wouldn't leave an abuser that is doing mental and/or physical harm.

[@antonjcrowley]

There is something called trauma bonding you can watch baby reindeer tv serie to see how it creates a circle of getting abused until you realize. Some people keep getting abused with different people until they realize the trauma they have. I've been with 3 psychopath until i realize what is going on and there is a pattern and no it's not my fault i got abused when i was younger. I don't this guys history but they sure know how to select their targets...

[@lore1175]

What I don’t understand is how parents, siblings can go for months without seeing each other. The cop cared more for him than anyone. God bless that cop for saving his life.

[@ritikasajwan2927]

I have watched the documentary. Before shifting together, she threatened him to choose between his children and family. He chose his children . Once they started living together, she started to cut off all his contacts and shifted to a new town. His parents, friends and a few other relatives tried to contact him on facebook and she replied back that he does not want to talk with them. His aunt also found where he is living and went to meet him but he did not respond and asked them to leave him alone.

I saw the documentary on what happened to you which was heartbreaking to see how much you had suffered. Alex, you are a beautiful guy with a lovely personality and shouldn’t have had to be treated this way. Even though it has been around 13 years now I hope you are doing well and much happier in your life now. You deserve so much more good things in your life.

@@RichardABradley-ze9qnthis is very similar to what happened on my parents. My mom goes crazy when my dad’s family call or visit, and she asked my dad to talk to his family members not to contact him.

[@caramelbilquees]

Have you seen the other documentary she left before and he couldn't see his son then he got back together with her and they lived together for 8 months with his family. Then his family didn't like her and she made him choose and he chose to stay with her and her son they moved away and he refused contact with his family and ignored his mum's messages!

[@sava898]

Abuse is abuse, no matter what form it comes in and who it happens to. Everyone needs to be able to feel safe and comfortable in their relationship(s). This is so sad to hear 😟. I hope Alex is doing better now.

This is sick!!! I am glad that she has been exposed for the monster she is.

[@neonblack211]

He had kids with her, that was a huge part of it, they never brought that up in this video... he was scared for his kids safety and he didnt want to leave his kids

[@mikamee5459]

Honestly these abusers are monsters. They come across as charming but are slowly breaking you down. My brother was so verbally abusive to me that he convinced me that i was worthless and a loser. Guess what? I did everything to win his approval. I tried to dress like him, listened to the same music etc. My heart goes out to this man. I hope he can heal and move on.

[@emzodette]

People who abuse in this way are usually very intelligent and they use specific techniques to target and manipulate people into becoming very isolated. It’s easy to say what you would and wouldn’t do in a situation however until you’ve Experienced it you don’t understand what it’s like. He doesn’t need to man up he needs to be loved and protected. Just like a woman would. Abuse has no gender it can happen to anyone who falls prey to that situation. In fact alot of the reason why male victims don’t speak up is because they are judged and made to feel like they need to ‘man up’ this is what leads to them ending their own lives eventually. Let’s be open and educated when talking about this because again u don’t know how you would react until it directly affects you or someone you care about.

[@carlacastillo3110]

poor guy, abuse is abuse, and men and women, can be abused, and we have to understand it, that anyone can be abused, not only women, and that's the reality.

As an adult with no capacity problems it was his choice to stay with her. Anyone who hurts another clearly doesn't love them and that should become obvious.

[@Taylaen]

​@@ejpatterson8458: it was his duty to protect his kids. That is why he stayed. Stop saying he volunteered for this abuse. This abuser admitted her harm. Her actions are repulsive.

[@emmashuffle6457]

As an abuse survivor, abuse is abuse. Idc what your gender is. And what this man went through was nothing short of torture. Absolutely horrific. And he endured most of what he went through for the sake of his daughter and thinking him accepting this abuse was the only way to protect his child. And that breaks my heart. I’m happy he’s able to share his story and him and his daughter are able to move forward in life away from this horrible woman. We need to take abuse of men much more seriously.

[@liselautenbacher]

Alex, should you see this: Not only people who have lived through this, understand you - others do, too. And you are courageous. Many of us are happy that you are alive and are rooting for you!

[@annmariegraham9085]

When you’re in a relationship like that it is very hard to get out of it, you believe them and that you are in the wrong and that you deserve it. He went through torture, I feel for him and I’m so glad that he lived to tell his story, and I hope he does believe that he is worth it, some don’t even make it out alive. 💝

[@shin-oni4223]

The reason why he didn't say is because most won't be believed that thay were abuse by their wife or girlfriend, on top of that, woman will lie and say they're being abused and get away with it, another reason some men that got abused by women gets laughed at, by women, that what he was probably afraid of, not being believed, not given a chance to tell his side of the story

[@tromedl]

Or they even are ridiculed about it which is disgusting.

[@Tspinks0220]

You’re very strong, my guy. If she hit me with a hammer, after hitting me with a bottle in the past, ESPECIALLY WHILE ASLEEP; id be taking a ride to jail. She would have gotten her jaw all kinds of disfigured. Its 2023, dont swing unless you’re 100% ready to be swung on

[@LexDawnWeber]

my brother is currently going through something like this and idk what tf to do. Heartbreaking. I’m so glad he’s out of that.

[@crempuii]

So many people question why he didnt defend himself,what people dont understand is manipulative psychopath people knows how to choose their victim,they choose the kind loving easy to control people and isolate them completely from everyone,then their full control is use to torture the victim more and more as time pass.

[@roxannebisaillon4799]

So happy to hear your away from her with your little ones..stay safe n good luck.

[@cynthiagreene7833]

She will get out and do it to the next guy she liked it too much..That's one sick girl I am so happy he got out alive.

[@felistuskusikwenyu8010]

This is more about mind control more than it is about manning up or mascular.. Sometimes people get lured in slowly to what they assume is normal until it intensifies like this.. usually the abuse starts with disarming your power n they take control over everything… so sad tbh my prayers are with him… thankfully he is alive and doing well

[@venomousbunny9875]

I met someone (a man) who would say things and do things that made you feel were just twisted / abnormal and I wonder whether the relationship that he talked about being in changed him or that was his natural persona. Manipulative. Works in a prison ironically.

Every young man should see this and know what abuse is. This is what kids need to learn in school. Pronouns will not save us from abuse. Knowing about abuse is what saves us from abuse.

[@xeromoth9771]

I have to say…fair play to Alex for coming forward about this. The problem is obviously a lot of men are afraid of saying “I was the victim of this”. But I think his story says, if it can happen to me it can happen to anyone. Genuinely wish him all the best

[@orsolyaritter7292]

Poor, poor guy must have had an icredibly low self esteem which I can not figure out came from. Why? Why? Why? Why does someone underrate himself so much? He could have asked for help. He could have rscaped. ..... but he did not......I brlieve that he must have suffered other type of traumas as well early on in his life! I would like to know his full life story. Why did he become the victim of a monster? I feel so sorry for him and I am glad he survived. The fact that his torturer was released after 3 and a half years is outragous. Such a shame on the system......

[@Rationalthinker676]

Hurting women is worse than hurting men

[@RichardABradley-ze9qn]

Why didn't he get out? It's not that mysterious -- they had a baby, extremely vulnerable, and obviously no shelters for a father+infant. If he just takes the baby & goes, it's kidnapping.

[@Doyamn]

people say the same thing about that w/ females. It's not as easy as just saying it. You're leaving your home, your kids, your clothes, your life. Often your job, sometimes you have to go into seclusion to stay away from the abuser. If people don't "get it" then #1 they should consider themselves lucky and #2 you WONT get it

[@cheddar89]

Stuff like this happens all the time but everybody doesn’t help and care for the male. What point I am trying to make is that if the roles were reversed then the female would be supported all the way but going back to the actual case the male would not get any respect.
