@DstroyThaMsheen Hi Ryan, we are so sorry to hear about the violence you have experienced. Our Watch is not a direct service organisation and cannot offer advice about your situation. Please contact @MensLine_Aus or @1800RESPECT to speak with a specialised counsellor for advice and support.

@OurWatchAus what about my children and myself. how can you explain how they charged me when there was an attempt on my life? they refused from day 1 to even document my injury. they said I was to drunk to talk. they refused after my release, forever. x.com/DstroyThaMsheen
