“Anything is worth a try and if it helps just one family its been worth doing, maybe they should watch my film Living with Murder, Deadly Dad, they can see what it does to the kids if they go a step to far, sometimes they need a good shock to make them realise they need to sort themselves out. Good luck and well done Hull”

“This program may help a minority of male abusers to correct their ways but sadly it will not work for all. I lived with an abusive partner for 8 years, after getting out he was never arrested, courtesy of the Humberside Police. Three years later he ended up on the abuse program for him to recognise his behaviour and to amend it. This did not work, no sooner had his program finished it only took him one week later to badly beat up his wife. I do not believe abusive men can be helped, but the way to protect our women, daughters, mothers and sisters is to take these perpertrators out of society and into a preison wing. They deserve no sympathy, it seems they have enough of that from their own mothers. I find it appauling that the government spend our money on pointless non-effective programs. Use the money to build more prisons to house these animals instead.”

“It is great that Hull are putting resources into this international issue effecting millions of victims every day. Domestic Violence is the great international emergency. Research shows that work with offenders must focus on victims safety and specialist workers need to work with the victims with abusers agreement to ensure that the abuser does not use the scheme as part of his well known pursuder tactics of abuse. Well done hull for highlighting the issue and putting it top of local agenda.”

“Research shows that work with abusers of domestic Violence must focus on victims safety ensuring there is a good specialsit advocacy and safet y worker working alongside the victims. this ensures that the offender isnt using this as part of his known pursuder abuse tactics. I hope that there are specialist workers for the victims. Well done hull in providing resources and putting Domestic Violence high on the local agender.”

“Domestic abusers first "groom" their victims with constant put downs well before they physically abuse. The physical scars heal after a few days or weeks but the mental scars stay with you most of your life, affecting other relationships.

Thanfully, I got out of my relationship but others are still living with the abuse. The abusers don't always want to change, usually feeling it's their right to hit their spouse.

My advice is get out while you can, more so if you have children. Would you want your child to see the beatings, or to grow up to be an abuser themselves?”
