Heather,

.” I am constantly amazed by men’s rights advocates, father’s rights folks and shared parenting people that “claims” of abuse by women in a relationship are generally false when so there so many women and children dying.

I don't diminish the abuse a lot of women suffer from partners. But how can we get to the truth when I was told by one of our members from Inverness that a Woman’s Aid meeting she went to was walked out on because the person in charge of the meeting was calling all men b-------. And the women who phoned up for advice on how to leave her husband was told it would be better if she said he was violent.

Heather we both know that lies like these goes on continually from both sides but how can I defend your cause when you didn’t deny these allegations.

Don’t you think it would be helpful help if you offered guidelines like i suggested in the form of a Charter for Mothers. By not doing this and staying silent you are seen to be accepting and condoning practise like those above.
