Emotional Torture

Chris, who used to yell, scream and emotionally torture his wife Loretta, says he sought professional help after his wife packed up her things, took their son and left. The 14-week, court-ordered "compassion and power" workshop helped Chris to see the implications of his rage.

"After about the third or fourth week, something clicked; snapped," he says. "And I started to see myself and the pain that I was causing her or the pain that she was feeling. I started to feel that within myself. And that allowed me to start to change."
