Hi Latch ~ Bless your heart. This is NOT normal, and I don't care HOW much your boyfriend loves you, he should NOT hit you.

Sweetie, you need therapy to find out what makes you want to be hit. There is something, perhaps from your childhood that seems to impel you to want to be abused. Perhaps you feel you deserve it or something -- I don't know. But it isn't normal, and if you break up with this guy and end up with someone who really IS abusive, you could get seriously hurt!

Please -- get into therapy before you do get injured badly!!! This is NOt a game! This is truly serious. I hope you find the help that you need so badly.

God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
