I feel it is a great program and it is great that men can get together and talk over issues affecting men. I like being able to speak freely about my feeling and thoughts with the other guys and I know I am not going to be judged.

I didn’t want to do this program, but my wife said if I don’t she is leaving. Over the last 24 weeks, I have learnt more about life in so many ways.

I seriously recommend it! As someone who cane from a family where a short fuse was vital and communication skills did not exist, I found it it extremely helpful in understanding how hurtful it can be to my family without being physically violent. It has certainly the best thing I have done to get in touch with my self.

I would say if you really love her/them then ask yourself: Do you want to change? Do you want to be respected by your family? You might think you are respected but like I found they were scared to say otherwise. I would also say, you might think you are a great couple.

Pick up the Bloody phone! It was the best move I ever made!

He has changed in so many ways – mainly he is respectful towards me and I feel safe with him. I have noticed that he listens to me more, lets me explain how I’m feeling instead of just listening to his.

He manages his anger. He talks to me about his feelings, which helps him to stay level headed.

His eyes have begun to open and the defences that blocked communication are crumbling.

I have noticed HUGE CHANGES! A different man to what he had become, I’m starting to look at him as the man I had married so long ago. The depression has lifted.

I have noticed that Brian is able to control his temper a lot more, he is a lot more patient, and a much happier person to be around. He also listens to myself and the kids a lot more.

He has continued to control is anger. It has now been 20 weeks without holes in the wall.

This is life changing! It is worth all the time and effort to get to. If you are serious about your family give this a go.

Well worth it, will strengthen your relationship and help with communication.

My partner has never been physically abusive and I have never feared for my safety. However I was not happy with our relationship.

Congratulations! I have been feeling very depressed about the recent coverage of FV and the constant shaming of men. With no exploration of their (our/my) humanity, their lives, or discussion about whether they can be helped, let alone any thought of whether we actually should help these men, or how.
