Is It Safe For A Partner To Stay With Their Abuser If They Are In Therapy?

Is it safe for a partner to stay with their abuser if they are in therapy? Depending on the situation and the type of therapy that an abuser is in, it may or may not be safe to live under the same roof as your abuser.

I can't answer that question, because it just depends on the kind of therapy they are in; whether it's a State Accredited Therapy Program. Because we have got what we call the Batter Intervention and Prevention Program and those are programs that are court programs that actually get a batterer through his own issues on anger management. There are many anger management classes out there, they try to simulate these batter intervention prevention programs, but they are not exactly the same thing. So my answer to that question would just depend on the situation and would depend on the person and the dynamics of the relationship.
