So the other day I couldn't do my homework (I am in school, but class is online) so it was late. My child also could not do their homework since it was online also.
So now every time someone raises their voice the wifi gets shut off. I am now trying to work online before they turn if off. I am letting my kids do whatever they want so they don't scream even though I dont' approve of what they are doing. My child is also at the point of screaming at the top of her lungs and punching me.
My father also punched me in face once because my kids started screaming. He tells me it is my fault they scream, I must have caused it because that is how i raised them, he says!! Then I was sent to my room!!!!
And I am 45!!!

Im sorry I cant tell you whether this is abuse or not. you see here in america each usa state has their own definitions of what is and isnt abuse. plus I only get to see what you have posted. I didnt witness these situations first hand.. in a court of law if I make a determination based on not personally witnessing a situation its called hearsay and insufficient evidence.
what I can tell you is that here in my location ones parents\ grandparents turning off the WiFi because someone isnt following their house rules is not called abuse. here in america we have many free options where a person can access the internet at no charge. for example a child who must do homework online, schools here in america must supply an in school option because there are many poverty level and homeless students who can not afford their own computers, cell phones, tablets, Ipads. for schools not to supply this in school homework \ study hall and computer options here in america is called discrimination. my suggestion for your child would be to have your child do their work during their schools computer access time or maybe take your child to a friends house so they can do their homework together, or to a local library. for you an option would also be to do your school work at your school or college during your time on campus. many colleges now have the option of letting students children on campus, you can take your child with you and while you are doing your homework your child can also be doing their homework.
as for the punch in the face well some locations call it two adults settling a fight others call it abuse depending upon other things. if you feel you were punched for no reason or you feel this was abuse you can call the police. they will come and investigate whether it was abuse or not. if so your parent will be arrested. most USA towns and cities now have automatic arrest on domestic violence / assault\ abuse. they will also help you to leave the home and go to your nearest domestic violence agency who can help you and your child to enter a domestic violence shelter where they can help you with mental health services and getting you and your child set up with a new place of your own (teach you how to get a job, and find a place and much more) they will also tell you whether according to the laws in your location whether you and your child are being abused.
