It is an incredibly rare story to hear and an incredibly difficult story to tell. Men who are survivors of domestic violence rarely open up, but a Dallas man wants others to know it's okay to ask for help.
– With complete vulnerability, abuse survivor Sylvester Harris described his journey from victim to survivor.
He got a case manager and counseling and had other men around him who had been through the same thing. “They’re still given a case manager. They can still have legal resources as well as counseling resources,” said FVPS Lead Shelter Monitor Felicia Ruiz.“They can just call our hotline. It’s open, accessible for them 24/7,” she said.“You absolutely can be abused as a man in a domestic violence situation. One of the things I learned in counseling at The Family Place is to trust your instincts. There were so many red flags I ignored just because I wanted somebody,” Harris said.
