Be careful if he's hit you once. What happens when you all close up the distance gap>

And one of those names he calls you.....oh my.....my ex was on his way to becoming an abusive man and he never even called me a "B_TCH". That DUMB____ is pretty harsh. That would make anyone feel belittled.

Don't cower to him - especially if you are so many miles away.

You should buy the book I recommended to you. It will surely clarify some things for you. Some say abusiveness is literally incurable. Some say it's learned, some say it's bred. I think it depends on the person. Not sure what you should do in your situation but at least you can get some insight.
