But anyways...it's unlikely for a physically abusive partner to stop...I mean, how many times have you heard someone say "Oh, My lover USED to hit me, but he doesn't anymore."
Typically it escalates until either the victim leaves, someone steps in, or someone winds up dead.


Its too bad people can't put themselves into check, we have a tendency to be critical of everyone else while we see nothing wrong with ourselves. It takes a lot of training for a person to change, but in order for that to take effect they would first have to recognize there are issues or that there is a problem. Basicly the point I am getting at is even if it gets to the level of court involvement and treatment is ordered, it most likely will not change anything after the therapy has ended.
