I knew he did it. I am just glad he is seeking God. I pray that he comes out of this a Christian and a changed man. I really hope he gets the help he needs. I can’t wait to hear the whole story.

Remorse is a well-known phase in the cycle of domestic abuse. The bottom line is that abusers seek power and control over their partners through the cycle of violence and “honeymoon” apology. Abusers perpetrate these crimes because it gives them the power and control they crave. I hope Rihanna gets out and never looks back.
