What does it take for a person to stop being a emotional abuser?

December 24, 2009 - 9:26 am 3 Comments

How does a person go about becoming secure and mature enough to stop abusing their partner?

What is the process, how long does it take?

I believe they have to lose something for which they care very deeply. Some incredibly strong loss event like that will force them to see all kinds of things.

If this happens though and they don’t have anyone around to help them find it, there’s a chance they might not find it themselves and sink into a bottomless pit of despair… But, whether they find it themselves or have help finding it, they can get better.

    You may wish to visit the "Narcissism Cured" website. They sell some materials that deal with working with an abuser so that they can change.

    Good luck.

    Most abusers have now idea how the other person feels. If they ever understand they stop.
