I am having marital problems. I have separated from my husband a few months back in Aug. He had started beating me on several occasions. I believe it was because he used to drink excessively which took a toll on his mental state. He had bruised my eye and thus I decided to separate. He says that I provoke him , I beat him and all this makes me lose hope to reconcile with him. I now stay with my parents. Doctor is there any hope to sort this out. Because this was not the first time he had beaten me . Every time I trusted him and went back again to stay with him again he would do the same. I feel he needs to overcome his anger and change.
