You know, I DO believe some people can change. I have seen some abusers realize they were abusing others because they didn't know there were healthier ways to develop good relatioships. Abusers, in most cases, have a lot of inner work to do, and that is beyond our control. We can offer them help to see what they are doing wrong, but if they choose not see or if they choose not to change, we can't do much about.
