This combative climate makes it all the more difficult for male victims to come forward and to be believed if they do, which skews statistics and makes it more likely that survivors like Paul suffer alone without support and without justice. This is why he wants his story told.
“Even if just one man reads my story and sees there’s hope,” he said. “It’s worth it. ”

Paul’s story shows that even if there are obstacles, male victims of domestic violence are not without hope.
To help your case, he recommends documenting as much evidence as possible. While he did not catch the incident on video, which he confided would have been ideal, he did take extensive photos of his burns and kept medical records.
His ex-girlfriend changed her explanation for his injuries multiple times, including claiming that he burned himself with acid. The inconsistency and implausibility lent themselves to his case since he had hard evidence.
Nevertheless, he says you should have no illusions about the uphill battle you’re facing.
