Some abusers do want to stop being violent, and voluntarily go to a program.
Unfortunately, others go in order to persuade their partners not to leave or to take them back. This is not a good reason. Unless an abuser is ordered to attend or is truly committed to ending their violence, they are unlikely to change their behavior. Your partner can stop being violent and abusive if they decide they want to stop, get help and keep working at it. An abuser's intervention program is an important resource for your partner but does not guarantee that they will stop abusing and does not guarantee your safety.
