Realization and acceptance that the relationship is abusive is a first and important step. But sometimes, especially if the victim is codependent, only professional help can bring about full recovery.

Being lost without the abuser is so common. We become like heroin addicts, we know it kills us, but we need it anyway. The same with living without the abuser. Living with an abuser is like living in a war zone. We are on high alert all the time and become addicted to high levels of stress and adrenalin. We cant stand it, so we leave the abuser. Only to find there's no drama, no adrenalin, no high alert. Life becomes boring. We think we need them, but actually we need time and help to adjust to normality. We have become conditioned to abnormality. Give it time. Try new things. The pain will eventually go. You're worth so much more. Please believe that. Good luck!!

Is an abusive relationship worth saving?

No relationship that is abusive is worth saving for any reason. Sometimes it is safer to stay within them until you know you can leave safely but once a realtionship turns from what you thought was love to abuse-there is no turning back. There are many forms of abusive but, no matter what type whether it be physical, emotional, financial, etc. less than 1 % of abusers ever change and it will happen again. You will have to ask yourself if that is how you want to live or whether you think you deserve better. You do deserve to have the best possible life that you can and surround yourslef with loving, positive, happy and fun people.

How can you trust your husband not to be controlling and verbally abusive?

http://www.coping.org/relations/boundar/intro.htm The above URL might be helpful in determining healthy boundaries in a relationship so that you can recognise such boundaries, set them and maintain them should you be in what is an abusive or controlling relationship. One does not passively *trust* that a partner will not be "controlling" or "verbally abusive" whatever promises may be made and however contrite the emotionally abusive partner may be. Rather, it is our responsibility to ensure we recognise what does and does not promote our emotional wellbeing and that we take steps to set and maintain limits to ensure our own emotional safety. It is important to know ourselves and our limits and to clearly, clamly and assertively convey those limits to others and ask that they be respected. Obviously, if a partner cannot or will not recognise our limits we must take steps to protect ourselves. If we are committed to the relationship in question, then we may try avenues such as counselling to alter the destructive dyamics within a relationship. However, if a partner is unwilling to confront the problems and to make lasting changes via intervention, then we must put an end to the relationship with an abusive partner for the sake of self-preservation.

My boyfriend came from an abusive home and he's very sweet but I've been seeing signs that he may start being abusive. How can I stop it or show him so he can stop it before it gets out of hand?

You cannot stop him from being abusive. He needs to be in counseling and have somebody (other than you) hold him accountable preferably a neutral party. People that have survived living in abusive homes are in survival mode, right now is not a good time to be in a relationship with him. Although he may in fact be a sweet person inside, the abuse will eventually trump all rationality and sweetness within him and you cannot help him with this, you can encourage him to go to counseling but there is nothing you can say or do that will help him.
