One of the hardest things
to admit is that you have abused someone you love. If you have been
ordered by a judge to take a domestic
violence online course, something has gone seriously wrong in your
relationship and your life. Do not let your anger and need for control ruin
your intimate relationships. Use this guide to
get the most out of your courses.
Do Not Minimize
the Abuse
The only way to change for the better is to admit fault.
You abused your partner. Period. Trying
to minimize the abuse is just a way to make yourself feel better about what you
did. It does not help you, and it definitely
does not help your victim. In fact, many
abusers who try to minimize the abuse wind up back in the cycle of abuse because they wind up manipulating their
partner to return.
If you truly want
to change, you must take ownership of your actions.
Learn to Let Go
In cases of domestic violence, it is not uncommon for the
victim to leave. It is very important
that you let them. Depending on the situation, it is unlikely that you will be
able to save the relationship. To have
successful relationships in the future, you need to learn to let go and put
your full effort into the courses.
Make a Genuine Apology – but Don’t Expect Anything in Return
Apologizing to your partner will help you gain closure. Even if they do not respond kindly, or at all,
taking that step will help you move on from the situation. Make your sincere
apology with no expectation except that this action will clear the way towards
a better future for you.
