But remember

The key step is to choose to stop.

How do I stop?

1. Decide that you no longer  want to control and abuse someone else. Only you can take responsibility   for your own behaviour and learn not to be violent and abusive whatever  the situation.
2. Take responsibility for  your behaviour and for the abuse. Stop blaming your actions on your   partner or on anything else – drink, drugs, stress, unemployment.
3. Do not minimise your  behaviour by thinking that it isn’t too bad. How bad does it need to be before you do anything?
4. Most importantly, seek help. You can promise yourself over and over again that it won’t happen   again, but it probably will if you do nothing more. Do something before  the next time.
