I'm only 16 years old and never had a boyfriend, but I have been hit by the many people while I was in the abusive situation I was forced in for 15 months. I can tell you one thing every time I was hit if I could I just wanted to leave. I didn't have that choice, but you do and I highly recommend it. The is no reason for anyone to be physical with another. No even if they are drunk. I am really sorry this has happen to you and you take take my words as from some stupid kid who doesn't know what she is saying and I will totally understand that. I am just saying this because I care about someone you has reached out who has been abused.
