And, your questions is?????????

Yes, abuse does happen. But instead of just posting all the figures, how about some ideas to help???

One thing that I noticed though, none of your facts listed the information about the abuse that men face at the hands of their spouse / significance other. This is documented as well, though most law enforcement agencies, health officials state that it is under reported, due to the male not wanting to admit to the abuse.

Im so depressed and dont know what to do?

As I understand it, most of those who have been saved from committing suicide later realized that they were experiencing a temporary state of mind; and they were glad that they had not been successful.
