maltratador
One of the two participants in the sado-masochistic game of domestic violence: the one who, out of pure spite, hits harder while the partner who joins them in the game plays the victim and tries to pretend they have no part in the matter. It is a term coined by psychologists to justify the actions or inactions of the supposedly abused person who chooses to participate in the cycle of violence and then does not know how to get out of the mess they entered.
Maltratador and the one being abused are two sides of the same coin.
