No, you just misunderstood my point, or I didnt make it clearly enough. I absolutely would advise any woman to leave a man who hit her, because the chances are he will do it again. the only circumstances in which I can see staying being even remotely a good prospect is if the guy has sought help (or in the case of some men who've been convicted of spousal abuse, been offered) to better understand why he abuses and how to stop.
What I was saying is that it is not inevitable that people won't change. But more importantly, I think change is likely when we're talking about youngsters.
