No way should you allow anyone, male, female, alien, or of another species, to punch you.
My heart goes out to you. If the abuse is a rare occurence, please don't involve "authorities" until you've looked at other options. I want to say "no tolerance" yet I know how much damage "social services" can do - especially if children are involved.
On the one hand I have zero tolerance for domestic violence yet I'm trying to balance that with your 25 year history and the potential horrendous damage the state can do to your family.
I am completely against domestic violence - including the Department of Human Services.
