Temporary shelter is available for battered persons and their children. This is an emergency. If there is enough evidence against your assailant, an arrest will be made. You may need other information from him as well or he may call you for more information. Often the batterer is unable to admit there is a problem.
Counseling is only helpful if both partners want help and are motivated to work together.
If the abuse is habitual or extremely violent, the batterer may need long term therapy. If the batterer refuses to seek help, it is unlikely the beatings will stop. Statistics show the beatings will become more and more severe. You re not alone. There are many places where a battered person may seek help.
