    Yes, it’s invalidation of feelings followed by the infliction of physical violence to make the abuser feel better.

      I got hit many times. A few times it was physically a little bit bad, but typically I was more upset that my parents had “turned” on me to the point that they would even want to do such a thing. A lot of it is mentally abusive :(
