They feel they have power (king) if they have control over one that is more timid, or smaller, more fragile than him/herself. It is more likely for this to happen if the abuser was him/herself abused prior to their current mindset. The first obvious answer is "because otherwise they wouldn't have a victim", but there is no one reason, not even that one. Some need to control in response to some kind of inner sadism, which seems to sometimes be an abberative drive like pedophillia, unrelated to trauma. Many need to have control because the alternative is to be afraid. Some abusers see the world as a hostile, dangerous place. They seek to control it in order to avoid the threats that they believe lurk everywhere. Many abusers fear intimacy (for a variety of reasons). By controlling their partners and the relationship, they "calibrate" how close they get. Other abusers are narcissists or sadists and enjoy exerting power over others.

Why do mental abusers change dramatically from being nice to being distant and upset?
Mental abusers generally suffer from depression (manic depression in most cases.) They can ride on a high and suddenly hit rock bottom. Generally, they are unaware of it until someone brings it to their attention and even then they meet that person's statement with denial. It's a tough place to be trapped in your body (no excuse for abusing someone) and generally in the toughest cases the person will not reach out for help. Mental abusers are also about control. Although they seem powerful (a need to fear because they are the abuser) they are actually weak. Why? Because they always have to control the environment they are in or they have to control certain situations. They find it difficult to agree to disagree, or to listen and perhaps they might learn something (abusers think they have all the answers for everything). That is why many of these people are often wrongly labeled as narcissistic. In reality, if they searched out psychological help and even were on medications (not always for the rest of their lives) they would simmer down and lead more productive lives. Mental abusers are also very jealous of those around them. They find it difficult to be happy for a family member or friend who has had some luck in their lives. Instead of joining in and celebrating with that family member or friend they will sulk, become sharp tongued or ignore the person completely. If you study a mental abuser you will see they are at their happiest when their environment is level, when they are getting their own way, but, all of us know these good times don't last forever in our lives, so when the luck starts to run out, the mental abuser will become angry, feel as if they are not in control and can even go into rages to try and regain that control.

Why do victims of domestic violence stay with their abusers?
A lot of abuse victims were abused as children, so they think of it as being "normal." Another reason is that a lot of abusers are extremely manipulative. They may only start with verbal abuse, often becoming extremely apologetic afterward. They may not be frequent abusers (they'll be abusive one day, and then months go by before it happens again). Usually by the time the level and frequency of abuse increases, the abused has already been emotionally manipulated to where they feel it's their fault that they're being abused, or that they deserve the abuse. What an abuser will frequently do is isolate their victim from other people in the victim's life. By the time the victim realizes they need help, they feel they have no one to turn to. Another big reason is that, at least when it comes to emotional abuse, it can be hard to prove that you're being abused. Yet another reason is that the victim will feel extremely ashamed and not want anyone to know that they're being abused. Also another reason is that the victim may feel that if they DO try to leave their abuser, their abuser will manage to hunt them down and potentially kill them.
