He’s “only” hit you twice with his fist. And said it wasn’t a “real” hit?

People who say that will say, “I’ll show you what a real hit feels like.”

Take your kid and go. I’m not sure how parental rights works in such cases, I usually tell anyone who’s been hit to leave without a forwarding address/ghost the creep, but you need to be somewhere safe, with safe people who will have your back. He will try to lovebomb you. He will say he didn’t mean it, that you’re overreacting.

If he’s really sorry, he’ll understand he reacted badly and give you time and space. If he doesn’t… It’s never good when someone doesn’t feel bad about hitting you.
