Stoic, thanks for jumping in here. No need to apologize. Honestly, I'm at a loss when it comes to violence. R, should in all likelyhood have a separation from him if she's feeling threatened. This is an unacceptable situation.
I've also alerted SG of the situation with R and hopefully, she'll jump in here soon too.
R, please, tell us what is going on.
The other issue Stoic is that if I understand correctly, R is not in the U.S. right now. So that makes the domestic violence thing different. If she's in a third world country, I don't know what resources are available to her. Can her family help? Is there another man in the family who can intervene?
Yes, this is serious R. Hitting is NOT OK, no matter WHAT you did!
Please post soon....
