Abusive husband, can he change

[jojo220263]

My husband was abusive verbally for 30yrs, I have been separated for 2yrs, he had a big breakdown and we have been talking about getting back together he does seem different now. My daughter who was 5 when I met him says she won’t talk to me if I go back to him, I feel really confused on what to do.

I expect your DD feels like she’s banging her head against a brick wall.

She’s watched you been abused for years and now you’re willingly going back. No wonder she doesn’t want to speak to you if you do, she probably utterly despairs and feels like she can’t do this anymore. Do you not see that she’s lived this too?

No, he won’t have changed. It’s what abusers say.
