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

Wow you are an amazing person. I wish more people were like you in the way you are looking for help and not being forced into it. Congratulations!
Your area most likely has some type of support group or program. You are in a different situation however because most programs are aimed for the abuser. You can ask your doctor for a referral to a specialist if you feel comfortable speaking with your doctor. Or you could start at the following web site of the National Domestic Violence Hotline. They can refer you some where.

Be there for her and check out and get her to speak to her mother and father... By her speakme to them offers her extra choices on wether or now not she wishes to hold it and even adoption she has extra choices now than she's going to later. Her mother and father will discover out finally simply ensure it is not to past due. And be a well buddy and check out and support/advisor her to make the offerings she wishes and now not what someone "wishes" her to do considering that she am has to manage it in a while in existence it doesn't matter what she makes a decision... And like the lady earlier than mentioned her mother and father will develop to the suggestion and sure there is a hazard they are going to unfastened it however the will not do any harm her or the child. So inspire her to make her selections in an effort to advantage her subsequently.

Call your local health or mental health dept. and ask them what programs are available and be sure you are doing this for yourself because you want the violence to stop and be a better person because whether she comes back to you or not you need this for you Good Luck
