Well if it truly happened as described, here's my take:

>>>>>I snapped and lashed out and tried to slap him across the face. he blocked my arm and pushed me to the ground. When I got on my feet I was yelling how dare you push me. He was in my face calling me vile names. He had me pinned to the wall while he was yelling at me. I was trying to push him away and when I could not get away I grabbed his neck and dug my nails in and pushed away from me.<<<<<

1. She "tried to slap him across the face" - Abuse
2. HOWEVER, He "blocked my arm and pushed me to the ground" - Self Defense, making the first part ATTEMPTED (not carried through) abuse.
3. Her yelling and him calling her names has no bearing, it's not physical and they're both a party to it.
4. He "had me pinned to the wall" - Abuse
5. She "was trying to push him away" and "grabbed his neck and dug" - Self Defense.

At the point where both attempted or did abuse, and both defended themselves it became mutual combat. If he'd walked after blocking and pushing her off, it would have only been her attempting abuse and him defending himself.
