Repairing your reputation after a domestic violence conviction

When you were initially convicted for domestic violence in Connecticut you were not the same person as you are now. After serving your time behind bars and making the effort to seek professional help to overcome your violent tendencies, you are nearing your release and you desire to have a new lease on life. At The Law Offices of Joseph J. Colarusso, we have helped defend many people who have been in similar situations to yours. 

Perhaps one of the most challenging parts of being convicted of any crime is dealing with the damage to your reputation. Chances are people who were once close to you and respected you may no longer see you as someone who can be trusted. Reestablishing relationships and overcoming the opinions people have formed about you based off of your past will undoubtedly take time to reconcile. However, with determination and a resolve to be a better person, you may slowly begin to overcome the consequences of your past actions. 

According to The Good Men Project, rebuilding your reputation will require that you develop new strategies for coping with anger and frustration. It will require that you practice forgiving yourself for your mistakes and allowing yourself to live life as an improved individual. If you are in denial and still grappling to accept reality, consider getting professional help to give you a chance at sorting your emotions in a way that is healthy and will enable you to live life to its fullest. Because you are the one who was convicted, there will be people who refuse to see you as a changed individual. In these circumstances, it is critical that you not allow yourself to believe the negative. If you know you have made active efforts to change and that you are not the same person that you used to be, that is all you need to know. 

When you understand what steps to take in repairing your reputation after being convicted of domestic violence, you may be able to begin living a happier and more productive life sooner than later. For more information about dealing with the consequences of violent crime, visit our web page.
