Excerpts:

"We don’t often get the opportunity to hear from men who have done the work and gotten on the path to transformation. We need to know what we can learn from them. However, since we can’t always predict who will be successful in the change process, we want to be clear that hope that someone will change is not a reason for women to stay in a dangerous relationship."

"We are not focusing on transformation to encourage women to stay in unhealthy relationships. This article is meant to share information with people who work with men who batter and batterers to offer hope that they can change their behavior and insight into what’s most effective -- particularly what men say has been essential in their journey to change."
