You are bombarded with self-doubt and questioning, and that compounds the loneliness. Whe...

In a weird way, the shame of not fighting back was always worse than the beating I took. I lay lifeless on the floor, as fists slammed into me. I was just an observer of the physical assault. I did nothing. After the event, I would - ironically - beat myself up about not having the courage or the masculinity required to fight back. That shame was the worst part. Partly in a quest to destroy this s...
