Is this abuse?

[no point]

I didn't label this as "contains abuse" because I'm not sure what it is yet.
When I was little, my parents used to hit me. My mom used to hit my head with closed fists and pull my ear and my dad used to hit my bottom when I got out of bed at nights. I never knew when they would hit me so I was very on edge and scared. It used to hurt but I never had any scars except when a private tutor hit my face and my lip started bleeding. My parents were totally fine with it because they told her to do anything to discipline me.
I know I was a difficult child. I didn't want to study, I had a learning disorder, I didn't want to eat and I was agressive (I think the agressiveness started after the hitting started). Because I was acting out so much, I think it was my fault that they were hitting me. Since it never left any scars most of the time, is this abuse?

Yes it is abuse, what they did was wrong. It is never okay to hit a child. Also none of this is your fault.

I don't know where you live, but where I live, you can only hit a child with a open hand, not a fist. and I'm pretty sure that anywhere in the western world you can't hit their face.

this is definitely abuse.

[whirlpools]

this is definitely ABuse.

And, controversiAlly, i believe thAt no Adult should ever hit A child, no mAtter where, how or whAt the circumstAnces.

i'm so sorry you hAd to go through All thAt, sweetheArt.
