How to stop abuse

by Hard life

How can a victim stop the cycle of abuse?

Everything goes well for a couple of weeks and then the abuse, yelling and beatings start all over again. How do I stop the cycle?


My answer:

Unless the abuser goes for counseling and gets behavior modification, long term change is unlikely. Unless something is done, the abuse will reappear on its usual cycle. "Better intentions" will not repair the situation.

The only way to stop the cycle of abuse is to remove yourself from the situation. If there is no victim to abuse there will be no abuse.

Start by getting your planning in place, put as much money away as possible and seek help. There are a lot of organizations that will help you to make a new start. Do not be a victim any longer, you are worth so much more.
