Yes. Abuse does not discriminate by gender. Male survivors—especially those in the LGBTQ+ community—often face emotional, physical, sexual, or financial abuse. The problem is real, and your experience is valid.
Abuse can involve control, manipulation, isolation, threats of outing, stalking, or forced sexual contact. It may not always look like physical violence. Psychological abuse is just as damaging.
If you feel afraid, constantly blamed, monitored, degraded, or manipulated—especially in a way that makes you question your reality or worth—those are strong signs. Abuse is about power and control, not just bruises.
Absolutely. Many survivors aren’t ready to leave, or can’t safely do so yet. We support you where you are now and help you plan for safety at your pace.
