I hope that everyone understands that marriage counseling DOES NOT WORK if one person is abusive (verbally, emotinally or physically).
That's not true. It's just that unfortunately, there are very few people who have the needed specialization to deal with it well, AND very few abusive persons who are willing to try to work with it.
You have to have BOTH a professional skilled in working with abusers, AND two willing spouses.
That combination is unfortunately all too rare.
