What is Reactive Abuse?
by Teresia Smith
Despite what its name suggests, reactive abuse is actually a form of self-defense that some people take in response to ongoing harm in an abusive relationship. Reactive abuse describes situations where a person who has experienced continued abusive behavior reacts aggressively towards their abuser. The abuser deliberately provokes their partner, pushing them to react in anger or frustration. The abusive partner often manipulates this reaction to shift blame and create a false narrative of “mutual abuse”. However, the victim’s behavior is actually self-defense in response to ongoing harm, and should not be equated with abusive behavior.
