“Reactive abuse is your fight mode being activated in response to abuse. When you are being abused, you try to defend yourself through lashing out, verbal insults, or even physically. The abuser may even provoke you until you snap. They then use your fight response to further blame you for the hostile relationship and claim they are the victim.”
― Emma Rose Byham, Was It Even Abuse?: Restoring Clarity After Covert Abuse
