Hi Raceka,
I am concerned when you say "he
just needed to lash out at someone" because it sounds like you have resigned yourself to this happening and it being acceptable and it isn't acceptable at all hun. No one has the right to hit anyone else, no matter how angry they are. You should be safe to live your live away from abuse of any kind. I know you think it's not worth reporting it but it might be good to have it on file with the police?
Without knowing the full story and the level of danger involved it is hard to say if your therapist will have to break confidentiality or not but they should tell you they are going to if they do.
If someone told you your own story back to you, what would you advise them to do?
*hugs* xxxxxxx
