The start of this thread was to get feedback about "my" behaviour. Was it considered "physical abuse" or "assault"? I received my responses. After that, it's been more about me sharing information, clarifying misunderstandings, and releasing my frustrations and concerns. Some of it may be relevant and some of it may just be my own fears talking.

I agree with a lot of what's been said. I came into this thread already knowing the level of abuse I'm in. This realization is still fairly new, though.
