Twenty people are physically abused by intimate partners a minute. That equals more than 10 million abuse victims annually. 1 in 3 women, and 1 in 4 men have been physically abused by an intimate partner. And, how does being exposed to this violence affect their children? Long-lasting effects on their emotional and physical well-being, and social and academic functioning. Domestic violence incidents affect every person within the household. And in this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, my guest Nick Pritchett and I share our experiences as children living in that environment. We also discuss the ways in which we sought help and choosing healthy masculinity over toxic masculinity.
