You spoke up. You reacted. You had enough.
And somehow you became the abuser?
In this continuation of Facing the Mirror, Christina dives even deeper into the complex and often silenced experience of reactive abuse—when victims are pushed, provoked, and then punished for responding like a human being in pain.
⚠️ In this raw and unfiltered follow-up, we explore:
How reactive abuse gets mistaken for "equal toxicity"
Why survivors often stay silent out of shame
The role of gaslighting and trauma bonding
How emotional manipulation distorts accountability
The dangerous myth of “mutual abuse”
This isn’t about denial—it’s about discernment.
If you’ve ever been blamed for the storm you didn’t create but got caught in, this episode is for you.
