Is there a difference between an abuser and someone who abuses because they are under a lot of stress?

No. There is never any excuse for abusive behavior. That's like asking if it's ok to rob a bank if you're under a lot of stress, since you're probably a good guy the rest of the time. In fact, most abusers believe that what they did was because of stress and not really their fault. It's about their own anger and rage and lashing out at someone that they claim to love. Is it rational to try to hurt someone you love? Would you think it is ok to KILL someone you love if your excuse is that you were under stress? The whole idea is nonsense. NO! Good thing to remember: They hit me once- it's their fault. They hit me twice- it's my fault. FOR STAYING. It is not justifiable to be abusive just because of stress! Abuse is NEVER OK!

How do you reason with an abuser?
Reasoning with an abuser is not something the abused person should probably try. Most abusers are very good at manipulation. If you try to discuss it with them, you may be disappointed and become more hurt and angry. If they are an abuser, they already know it, but do not expect them to admit it.Rather then reason with them, you should talk to someone that you trust about it. It might be hard to admit to someone that you are being abused, but it is better to face your fear by reaching out to someone then continuing to be abused.
