Can abusers change?
Should I give him another chance?
A lot of women experiencing abuse hope that
their partner will change - they want the abuse and violence to end, but hope
the relationship will continue. Others might want to end the relationship but
be too scared or overwhelmed to do so. If your partner is attending a specialist, behaviour-change (perpetrator)
programme, you might feel under pressure to give the relationship another
chance.
Not all abusive people change - and even if they do, it may not be enough for
you. It is still ok for you to choose to end the relationship even if he does
change.
It's important that you get some help
and support for yourself to help you do what's right for you and your
children (if you have them).
