I know this is going to sound really stupid but how do you know if you are REALLY being abused. I mean sometimes parents hit their kids but they don't beat them. So what's the difference between a parent who abuses their kid and one who just hits them sometimes?

It's true that sometimes a parent my loose their temper and hit their child once. The kery word there is once. If a kid is being abused it means that their parent(s) is hitting them all the time. Abuse doesn't always have to be physical either sometimes kids are emotionally abused. Their parents will always tell them that they are worthless or are just plain mean to them.
I hope I helped and just in case this is a question that relates to your life...I am here is you ever need to talk.
