Isn domestic violence often triggered by stress, such as the loss of a job or some financial problem?
Stress does not cause domestic violence. We all experience significant stresses or conflicts at different times in our lives, but most of us do not become violent. When abusers use violence to respond to stress, they do so because they have learned this response and choose to use it. To be rehabilitated, perpetrators must hold themselves accountable for the abusive choices they make.
