What is it really? 
Reactive abuse is when you, as the person being abused, lash out against your abuser, your response tends to be through screaming, insulting, or even in a physical manner. When this happens, the abuser has twisted the blame on you and makes you seem like you are the abuser instead of him. This is another form of manipulation to switch you from being the victim to being the abuser. Doesn't that make sense? I know.

This happens because of the way that you are reacting to his toxic behavior. This is used to control and manipulate you into thinking that you are the abuser.
