I need some tips on where to go to get help for domestic violence. I have been with a girl for 3 years now and for the first year of our relationship I had abused her physically. It hasn't happened in over two years now and I stopped because she gave me another chance and I made sure not to do it again. However recently her mom was involved in a relationship where her boy firend had abused her and it caused my girl friend to leave me because she says she can't take a chance of it happening again. I know that I am not going to do it but I want to go through a program or counseling. I want to be reassured myself and I want her to know that I am serious about it. I want to do this for myself first but I'm also going to do it for her. I wanted to go after she gave me another chance but never got around to it because things were so good with us and we were always busy. So any advice on where to go or what to do and anything I can do for myself and for her

Good for You! You must love her a lot. You can start by looking at a phone book. In the front couple of pages it has information on your local area. I think you can get some numbers there. My concern is she left you. Are you going to be able to handle it if she doesn't come back. Can you keep your anger under control if she moves on to another. I don't mean to be cruel but I think you need to prepare yourself just in case. I hope you get her back. It seems to me she should already know you won't touch her again if its been two years. You sound like a great guy and I wish you the very best.

FOR YOURSELF- get some anger management.
FOR YOU GUYS AS A COUPLE- look into couples counseling.
If she won't go to couples counseling with you, still take your anger management.
Call any local counseling clinic and they'll point you in the right place. If ability to pay is an issue then tell them and most likely there will be some sort of assistance.
Be proud of yourself for wanting to do better.

All I can say is "learn by your mistakes"..if your ex doesn't want to chance it..respect her...time to move on and teach yourself to be a better person..remember what goes around ,comes around...
