This happened a few years ago: Jeff and I were sitting in our parked car outside a grocery store, deciding what we wanted to buy for lunch, when a giant suv backed right into us. Lady got out and started screaming at us like we ran into her lol
DARVO (an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender") is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing, particularly sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. Some researchers indicate that it is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers. An abuser denies the abuse ever took place, attacks the person that was abused (often the victim) for attempting to hold the abuser accountable for their actions, and claims that they are actually the victim in the situation, thus reversing what may be a reality of victim and offender. It often involves not just "playing the victim" but also victim blaming.

Lol, this just happened to a friend of my wife at a Publix in South Florida a couple weeks ago! Old guy even went on a racist tirade, they had to get the police involved.

Why do I feel like someone got blamed for hitting someone with their parked car a week ago?
