Tom has just thrown his wife to the floor and repeatedly kicked her in the stomach after she fell to the ground. Suddenly he picks her up and cradles her to his body, crying and promising that he will never hurt her again (he’s said that before). According to Chapter 6, what stage of the cycle of violence is Tom now in? apology phase penitent phase regret phase contrite phase
