Are there any domestic violence abuser success stories? (And this is completely wrong as domestic violence is unacceptable behavior and there should be no 'success' for abusers)

Because domestic violence is immoral and illegal. Success implies a positive outcome, but there's nothing positive about abusing someone.

Support is a key element. Victims often need support from family, friends or organizations. For example, if a victim has a friend who believes in them and helps them find resources, it can be a turning point. Another element is the legal system. When the law is enforced properly, like issuing restraining orders or making the abuser attend rehabilitation programs, it can lead to success.

In a case, a man was a victim of domestic violence from his partner. He initially felt ashamed and didn't know what to do. But he mustered the courage to talk to his friends, who then supported him to contact the police. The police took the matter seriously and with their intervention, his partner was made to understand the seriousness of her actions. They both went through couple's therapy and now they have a much healthier relationship.

Society can prevent domestic violence by promoting gender equality. When both genders are treated equally, there is less chance of one feeling superior and using violence. Also, teaching healthy relationship skills in schools from an early age can be very effective.

One common pattern is the cycle of abuse. It often starts with a build - up of tension, like the abuser getting angry over small things. Then comes the actual violent incident, which can be physical like hitting or pushing. After that, there's a period of remorse from the abuser, they might apologize and promise to change. But without proper intervention, this cycle just repeats. Another pattern is isolation. The abuser tries to cut the victim off from friends and family so that the victim has no support system and is more likely to stay in the abusive situation.

One way to help is by offering emotional support. Listen to their stories without judgment. Encourage them to seek professional help like counseling. We can also help them in practical ways, such as assisting them in finding legal aid. There are often laws in place to protect victims of domestic violence, and they may need help navigating the legal system. Additionally, we can help them regain their independence, for example, by helping them find a job or get an education if they have been held back by the abuser.

One story could be about a child who always hid in the closet during his parents' violent fights. He would cover his ears, trembling with fear, and this experience made him extremely withdrawn and afraid of loud noises in the future.

Another story might involve financial control as a form of domestic violence in a gay relationship. One partner controls all the finances, not allowing the other to have any access or independence. This can lead to the victim being completely dependent and powerless within the relationship.

Because domestic violence involves one person harming another within a family or domestic setting. It's a form of abuse that can lead to serious physical and mental harm, and it violates basic human rights and moral principles.

There was a case where a man was verbally abusing his wife constantly. He would call her names, put her down in front of their children. The wife was in a state of depression for a long time. Eventually, she found the courage to leave him after getting support from a local women's shelter. They provided her with counseling and legal advice which made her realize she didn't have to endure such abuse.
