People abuse because they choose to do so. Outside circumstances (stress, alcohol, unemployment, the kids, the weather, drugs, etc.)** do not trigger their behavior** or cause them to be violent. A batterer abuses to maintain control and power over his partner.

I’m googling around. Usually in domestic violence discussions it seems it is the victims/survivors described as being triggered later by words or events.

Describing the behavior of the abuser as triggered behavior kind of turns that usage on its head. It describes the abuser as a victim of sorts, or so it seems to me.
