David - not his real name - says he was often 'unnecessarily cross' before joining the course.
An abusive husband thrown out of home over his behaviour towards his family has praised a programme which helped him address his actions.
David - not his real name - said he was often "unnecessarily cross" leaving his family "treading on eggshells" before he began attending sessions run by Foundation UK in York. He shared his story as the charity warned of a possible spike in reports of domestic abuse during the World Cup.Speaking to the BBC anonymously to protect him and his family, David said after attending the sessions he felt sad about "what I put my family through and I feel uncomfortable when I see how I made my wife feel".
"During the previous World Cup cup incidents of domestic abuse rose by 38%, and that was just the fact that England were playing - it wasn't related to whether they lost or won," she said.She said talking to the perpetrators helped them to see they had a choice."Do they feel threatened by my behaviour? - if so, that's certainly not ok," he added.
