“Many victims of abuse would rather their partner change for the better rather than terminate the relationship. They wonder if there’s any hope of salvaging staying together.”

You may know someone who is wrestling with the idea of leaving an unhealthy relationship while still holding out hope that the abuser will change, or maybe it resonates with you personally.
