Men can also be victims of domestic violence. Daniel fled back to the USA with his son Josh to escape the anger of his abusive wife. She screamed, threw things and hit Daniel while Josh watched, afraid, crying and huddled in a corner. This was happening several times a week. Daniel did his best to try to stop her but feared he would be arrested if he defended himself. Daniel does not want Josh growing up in such a violent environment and feared she would turn her anger to Josh.
Daniel had no idea how violent his wife would get when they moved with Josh to Vietnam last year to live with her family. Daniel wanted Josh to experience his mother's culture. As a freelance web designer he could work anywhere. Within months of living in Vietnam, Josh's mother became angry most of the time. Daniel has tried to smooth things over but Josh is living in fear. Daniel has come home to the USA with Josh. They just need a little help to get back on their feet.
We will be able to help Daniel and Josh get into an apartment. We are hoping we can provide this safe, non-violent home for Daniel and Josh before the holidays.
Sometimes it is battered American fathers that need help. We will be able to help Daniel and Josh live in a safe home, away from the abuse in the USA
