Men trapped in abusive relationships. Some of you may be thinking, Did she just write men? Some say there is a double standard for men who are the ones being abused.

But, one local woman says that needs to change.

Lizabeth Stahl knows the pain firsthand. For her, the holidays are meant to be a time to spend with family. But, this will be the seventh Christmas she must try to celebrate without her son, James, also known as “Jim Eddy.”

Lizabeth smiles as she remembers her son, I wish you could have met him. He was always the clown, just have you laughing!

But, that laughter is now silent. Almost seven years ago, at the age of 34, James was killed by his abusive, live-in girlfriend. Now, Lizabeth honors James with an altar in her breakfast nook. Pictures of James and Jesus, crosses, candles, and dried flowers from his funeral adorn the table.

Until now, Lizabeth has grieved quietly. However, she feels as Christmas approaches, now is the time she should open up about something that has caused her, and her children and grandchildren so much pain.

She recalls, From what I was told at the funeral, from people at work would hide him, to protect him from her but he would always go back.

She hopes her sons murder will help give a voice to men who are either too afraid or too embarrassed to reach out.

Through tears, Lizabeth says, I cant bring him back and my arms ache to hold him but hopefully he can help someone else.

She says her message is one of hope: If I could give a gift at Christmas, if James could give a gift at Christmas, it would be to help; if it was just one man.

National statistics say one out nine men will be abused by a loved one in their lifetime. And, there is help.

The Bexar County Family Justice Center provides free legal services, counseling and other assistance to victims of domestic violence — both men and women. The phone number is (210) 208-6800 and the Web site is bcfjc.org. Another place to turn is the Family Violence Prevention Services also located in Bexar County. The number to FVPS is (210) 733-8810 and Web site is FVPS.org. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is (800) 799-SAFE.

Lizabeth relies on her strong faith in God and her children and grandchildren to cope with the loss of her son.

Those who suffer abuse are now being urged to seek help as part of a nationwide awareness week.

Ian McNicholl told Sky News he had been trapped in a terrifying violent relationship.

He described how his former partner, Michelle Williamson, squirted bleach in his eyes, forced lit cigarettes up his nose and burnt his arms with a hot iron.

She also smashed his shoulder with a hammer with such ferocity that the handle snapped.

“It gets worse without you realising,” he explained.

“You can’t seem to think for yourself or separate fact from fiction. You just want to keep her happy by complying and keeping her happy.

“As bizarre as it sounds, I still loved her.”

As Mr McNicholl found himself on the brink of committing suicide, a concerned neighbour alerted the police and his 10-month ordeal came to an end.

In April 2009, Williamson was sentenced at Grimsby Crown Court to serve a total of 18 years in prison.

Mr McNicholl is now slowly rebuilding his life and is about to have reconstructive surgery on his fractured eye sockets.

He told Sky News: “The fear of repercussions certainly stops people from reporting things.

“At one stage I was walking into the same newsagent with a new black eye or injury every day. Nobody said or did anything.”

A new TV advert will be part of a week-long awareness campaign.

Dr Steve Connor from the National Centre for Domestic Violence said: “As a man, it can be difficult to admit that you are being abused.

“As the advert points out, a man might feel ashamed, embarrassed or worried that he may be considered less of a man by speaking out against his abuser.”

A men’s rights group claims the domestic violence system is skewed toward women.

Today, a lawsuit was filed in Sacramento court, claiming that male victims don’t get the same help as female victims.

“I remember going to phone 911, saying get here now, I’m going to kill him!” said Ruth Woods.

They fought all the time, often over money. Things sometimes got violent.

“I do it. I do hit. I do slap,” said Ruth.

“She reaches a point when she’s angry, you look in her eyes, there’s no one there,” said Ruth’s husband, David Woods.

Ruth’s longtime husband, David, says he’s a former bouncer who didn’t want to hit back.

“If I hit her, I could kill her,” said David.

But David claims when he went to local agencies for help, for shelter, he got nowhere.

“I was told women are not the perpetrators, they are the victims,” said David.

Now, a lawsuit has been filed, claiming that men are treated unfairly. According to the suit, state law even excludes male victims from domestic violence help. The health and safety code section will pay for things like housing, hotel rooms and counseling–but only for women and not men.

David insists he tried to get help from the group WEAVE–Women Escaping A Violent Environment–but was turned down.

“I was told no by weave four times,” said David.

WEAVE could not comment on the suit, neither could the state; they haven’t seen it yet. But WEAVE is adamant they help men, too.

“We do provide shelter services,” said Michelle Coleman, WEAVE director of crisis services. “At WEAVE we provide services to everyone.”

Tell that to David, who believes that help for men is pretty scarce. In fact, even his wife believes that and his daughter too. They all think when it comes to domestic violence the deck is stacked in favor of women.

“If a man takes it, he’s a pansy, a sissy. If he defends himself, he’s an abuser. He just should be put in jail,” said David.

“It’s a slap in the face to my gender. What is this, animal farm?” asked Maegan Black, David and Ruth’s daughter.

WEAVE insists men do get help, but fewer men ask for it than women do.

Domestic violence against women is an invisible but widely prevalent problem in the Asian and Pacific region. While many NGO and government authorities in the region are working to eliminate this abuse, what is urgently needed are drastic efforts by the State and the public at large to tackle the root causes of domestic violence.
