Here are a few way s Is he try ing to get you to come home or does he understand thft you are afraid of him and need some time away to become stronger and feel better about yourself? Does he blame you and call you names or can he communicate his anger in direct ways? Does he just get himself more and more angry or does he tell you he needs to cool off calm down and he w ill call you back when he docs so? Does he get quiet and moody or does he express his feelings clearly to you? Does he blame you for his violent behavior or docs he take responsibility for his actions? Is he only interested in when you are coming home or does he talk about what he is learning in counseling? These are but a few indications that a person is changing It is important to take your time in deciding w hen to go back Information courtesy of The Counseling Team San Bernardino CA Ifyou or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence or abuse we can help Call New Horizons Crisis Center at or Diane 0 Hendrickson MS New Horizons Crisis Center F The beaver is one of the larger member of the rodent apedei POORCC |
