I deleted my message due to typos. You may be interested in checking out your local mental health association for coping tips.

I am somewhat shocked to learn about his he brandished a studded belt at me and said move or else and he picked up a broom a few minutes later and told me that i had 5 seconds to get out of his way

and you write...

i slapped the snot out of him.

I hope you get to the local mental health association and learn some techniques for handling this child that doesn't involve physical abuse on your part. You see, I've read way too many messages where, the child, with a show of bruises, reports his parents) to Child Protective Services. I'm sure you can figure out the rest...

Take Care
