Which of the following statements is best describes an abusive relationship? a. an abusive partner will admit to the problem and change. b. the abuse was probably just an accident and the abusive partner won't do it again. c. the abuse will happen again regardless of how sorry the abuser seems to feel. d. the abuse will stop when the abuser makes more money.

The correct answer is C.

In an abusive relationship the abuse will happen again and again and again, no matter how sorry the abuser claims to be, if it's happened once it will happen again. Don't be fooled into thinking it was just an accident or the person will change, these are tactics that abusers use to make you stay. Abusive partners know what they are doing.
