Can domestic abuse and Stockholm Syndrome collide Meaning can feeling guilty while being abused be called Stockholm Syndrome?
An abused person can identify with their abuser. The abuse itself would not be called Stockholm Syndrome. How the abused feels about the abuser would be Stockholm Syndrome.
Is it OK to sometimes regret the decision to leave the abuser?
Regret is a feeling. If you feel regret, and you probably will sometimes, you have no real control over that. You can repress a feeling but you cannot change it. It is always ok to feel whatever you really feel, even when it would be a bad idea to act on the feeling. We often tend to idealize the past, feel nostalgic, forget the abuser's bad traits and offending conduct and remember the "good old times".
Does an abuser mean it when he admits to being ashamed of his behavior?
The abuser may or may not mean it. It is not possible to tell in the abstract without knowing the individuals concerned. I would add that there is often a difference between being ashamed and feeling guilty . Shame often produces a kind of self-loathing, something that is non constructive. A sense of guilt, by which I mean feeling bad about an action, can lead to remorse and the kind of counselling (or treatment) that will stop the abuse. (Obviously, what really matters is the abuser's fundamental attitude, not whether he/she uses the word shame (or ashamed) rather then guilt.

What are the ways to prevent addiction?
There are a number of things to do to attempt to prevent addiction. You first have to admit your vulnerabilities and realize anyone can be addicted, and you have to look at addiction as something filthy that you don't want. Then you should watch where you go and who you hang out with. If you get sick, you need to be careful to only take any pain medications or mind-altering drugs according to your doctor's orders. It would be best to try not to get severely injured in the first place, since some people are particularly vulnerable to narcotics.
