I Am Tired Of Being Abused And Disrespected

I don't know if I am experiencing emotional or physical abuse lately..?
I've been seeing a much older man than I for the past eighteen years now, and he has always treated me well- until the beginning of the year he has started verbally abusing me and doing stupid shit that I don't see this as normal. Hus been through a lot and so have I, but I find it hard to put into words as the stuff his been saying to me and doing to me...
It all started with him swearing at me and saying the most harshest things that broke my heart. I always just brushed it off and ignored him. Than he started smacking me on my head (real hard) or a smack behind my neck, which he said its nothing when I reacted to it... I don't know if I am over reacting? Or what he is doing is wrong? I honestly hate how he's treating me and I don't know what to do about it... I feel like I am hating him, really. He has gone as far as when I just ignore him while he's shouting & swearing at me - he'd kick me on my legs! Wow! that to me is so crazy and disrespectful! Please anybody who can gibe me an honest outside opinion on my situation I'd really appreciate it.

OK, what he's doing is absolutely wrong and you should not put up with it. Trying to find the underlying reason for the change has to be a high priority - I would either guess severe stress (from a job, or from coming to retire?) ... or dementia of some sort.

@firefall LEAVING HIM is the high priority....saving herself is the highest priority
