Do pedophiles ever change their behavior?
Pedophiles are people with a sexual attraction to young children known as pedophilia. As pedophilia is a feeling of sexual attraction and not a behavior, there is no behavior for a pedophilic individual to change unless they are a sexual abuser as well. Experts call such sexual abusers preferential offenders, not pedophiles.

Will an emotional and verbal abuser ever stop abusing even in a new relationship?
It has happened many times before and will probably happen many more times: a person abuses his/her partner then turns around and apologizes, asking to be taken back, promising to be a changed person. In general DO NOT TAKE THEM BACK. This is a classic psychological pattern of behavior and unless the person has received professional help, chances are (s)he has not changed. God bless. Most abusers are serial abusers - they repeat the same behavior patterns in all their intimate relationships.
Do you tell an abuser that he emotionally abused you?
Telling an abuser that he emotionally abused you depends on your expectations. Safety is the most important consideration, though- do not put yourself in a position of further abuse- emotional or physical- by confronting your abuser. If by telling him, you are expecting him to apologize or take responsibility for his behavior, you are very unlikely to be satisfied. Abusers are in denial, and they rarely will admit that their behavior is abusive or in any way wrong. The chances of an abusive man changing are very slim, so telling him hoping he will change is rather useless. If by telling him, you are standing up to your abuser, regaining control of your own life, and letting him know what he did to you and how it affected you, it might be worth telling him for your own recovery.
Will abuser change in a new relationship?

How can you change a person who is money minded?
The short answer is you can't. Only they can change their own behavior. The most anyone else can do is help them see they have a problem (if it actually is one) and acknowledge they need to address it. All you'll manage by trying to change someone is alienate them and frustrate yourself.
What do you do when your abuser calls you on the phone?
Call the authorities ASAP and report him/her if possible change your number and DO NOT GIVE IT OUT TO ANYONE, put a block on your phone so no one can read your number if you decide to call someone.
Can an abuser change for a healthy partner?
yes, if they want to change then they will have to work as hard as they can. Change is hard but still good if you are changing to the good side.
What are the odds of recovery for a spouse abuser that gets counseling?
Statistically, the odds of an abuser changing are low. However, there are key indicators you can watch for in a person who is taking an honest interest in changing their abusive behavior: 1) They acknowledge that they are abusive, and that it is their responsibility, and not the fault of anyone else that they are they way they are. 2) They admit that they WANT to change, and that they know the process of change is very difficult 3) They undergo a violence/abuse assessment, delivered by a professional who focuses on these things. The abuser is willing and wanting to follow the recommendations of the assessment. 4) They voluntarily enter programs specifically oriented around addressing abusive and/or violent behaviors. These group programs generally are extensive, and may run from a minimum of 16 weeks to 52 weeks in length. Jointly, they should also attend individual counseling that is specific to the challenges they have in addressing their behavior and emotional challenges. 5) The process for change is hard, and can be long. How long depends on the individual, their readiness for change, and ability to integrate the change. 6) The individual will tend to this change in an ongoing process which may be lifelong. The process for changing abusive tendencies is intense, very difficult (because it is rooted in learned behaviors that likely spanned significant portions of their childhood), and due to the extraordinarily low level of community support due to the morally reprehensible nature of this behavior, the individual will find the path to rehabilitation difficult to maintain despite their initial best interests and convictions. If the individual is willingly able to endure this path to change, they can and will change.
Why do talk show hosts seem to look the other way when dealing with abusers and send the abuser home with the victim when the reality is that she faces serious repercussions for her candid statements?
The public heard her confessions and she has everyone's sympathy for the abuse. Do you think the abuser will go back to his old ways when people will now be watching him closer? It is possible that they could, but this person will have all sorts of hard evidence when she does finally divorce him. Being on TV may be a real push to change for this abuser.
Was your abuser really that bad if you feel worse without him?
Abusers are bad. Period. It is common for someone who has been abused to feel lonely when the abuser becomes absent, but it is because of the stress of change. If you feel yourself running back to your abuser, get help. The situation will only escalate otherwise.
