Do emotionally abusive people stop the abuse when moving on to another relationship?

Answer

Most likely not without some counseling.

Answer

Most abusers are serial abusers. They continue to abuse others in successive relationships, pretty much with the same MO (mode of operation).

Answer

I don't think so. We all have patterns for relationships in our lives....I do beleive, with good therapy, that victims can choose better mates and choose better relationships. I firmly beleive, though, that abuser tend to go back to their old ways eventually...the only thing that can mellow an abuser is old age (feeble).

Answer

I escaped my abuser over 3 months ago. He is still trying to abuse, intimidate and control me. And he has been actively looking for his next victim for months. Even before I broke up with him. I even begged him for the last year to find someone else knowing that he (in the past) always had one on the hook before he left the current one!!!!!

Answer

I find that sometimes I think of others before myself. I have learnt a good bit about controling relationships but find I attract those types of people in my life and am frighten of doing the same thing again. I have a phycholigist whom is helping me but would love to get into a relationship but want it to be a healthy one.
