My mum was in one when I was a child. The most harrowing experience I've ever been though. Having to listen to it knowing there's nothing you can do

Inwont be watching it.

Do you know what my mum did today?

She went down the volunteer bureau to take some bags of Christmas treats and the guy said he was sorry for keeping her but they had a domestic violence case come in. A woman and a 10 year old girl with nothing but the clothes they stood up in.

The woman same dress size as my mum. My mum went and have half her wardrobe of clothes and all the spare household stuff she could find and took it to them.

Domestic violence is bad enough when there is just you but when kids are involved

People may not realise but pets often suffer too.

I feel guilty about not watching these sorts of programs but it's too close to home. One of my earliest memories is my dad punching my mum and her hitting the floor. She was holding my baby brother at the time.

The whole thing is such an awful subject. Then you get the people who say "why don't they just leave?"

My Dad asked me that. I've not been able to answer

I just sounds alien. My dad loved my mother, he died young and she never remarried.

It just doesn't compute that a man would make someones life so horrible.

I still believe it's worse watching someone else suffer than suffering yourself

It's good that you think this way

It's worse when years later you ask yourself the same question and can't answer. All the reasons I gave myself back then sound so weak and stupid now.

And the guilt I carry around for subjecting my child to that environment is hard to cope with too.

I found my answer and when I did, it made me come to terms with things and put it in my past

So true, I'd have switched places with my mum in an instant.

Not been or witnessed domestic violence - finding this documentary extremely disturbing and sad

"Also let's not forget the male victims, the rate of women on men domestic violence is rising... "

I used to work with a guy in the 80's on a building site. Back then sympathy towards male victims was pretty much zero.

Anyway he always came into work with black eyes, bruising etc.. Claiming he was getting into fights in the pub.

He always borrowed a tenner off one of us Monday morning, we always complained that he was pissing his money away.

One day on a Monday he was literally covered in bruises, at tea break in front of about 20 hairy arsed builder's he just burst into tears.

Blank stares all around.

He then went on to say she beat the Crap out of him literally every day, she took all his wages on a Friday and threatened to beat up the kid's if he told anyone.

Noone laughed or took the piss.

We all realised how hard it must have been for him to admit it.

He went on to get full custody of the kid's and she got knicked.

Not sure what happened after that.

Just to clarify I did not mean we should have laughed at him.

It's just blokes on site can be cruel assholes, normally blokes would have ripped the piss out of things.

But this was something that shocked us all and he got nothing but sympathy and support.

And rightly so.

All victims of domestic violence deserve all the support and help available.

It's bloody awful but a lot of women go back to these men who beat them, thinking they've changed.

We need to change this cycle of thinking.
