Question
My boyfriend whom I love dearly is in jail at the moment for his 2 Domestic violence charge against me. He says he wants help, can a batterer who rages in anger really be helped to the point of learning to redirect his anger/rage and not hurt anyone when he flips out?

Answer
Sherry,
The question to me is not if they can be rehabilitated, but what are you doing still with the person? I suppose there can be change, but why risk it? If you have kids with this person why risk the danger to your kids? It says more about you that you are willing to stay with an abuser. If you choose to stay with him then you should probably set up some sort of safety net for yourself.
