A male domestic abuse victim has revealed how he considered ending his life at times in a bid to escape the abuse he suffered at the hands of his former partner.
Barry – not his real name – faced emotional, mental, coercive and financial abuse during their seven-year relationship.
He was speaking ahead of the first-ever male domestic abuse conference, which is taking place in Belfast today in a bid to break down the prevalence of domestic abuse among men here and highlight the lack of funding to support victims equitably.
