Today, I stumbled upon a short film that was created by student at Arts University Bournemouth (AUB). It’s a short educational film on domestic abuse and violence against men, demonstrating different sorts of abuse a woman can inflict upon a man. Be it bullying, mind games, emotional blackmail, or physical, it’s all abuse, and it is wrong.
I found myself relating to many of situations depicted in this video. I was often subjected to these kind of attacks. It almost plays out like a replay of my former experiences, albeit with a much cooler voice accent.
Note: Depending on your personal situation/history, some of the situations portrayed in this video could trigger some intense reactions or anxiety. Please be careful. If you start to feel yourself triggering or spinning up, press pause and allow yourself time to re-center, and resume the video later. Many of these scenarios hit very close to home for me and I had to stop it a few times while I was watching.
