No supposing about it. He was obviously out of control, physically, with you.
Part of the cycle of abuse is feeling like it's your fault and you deserve it. I imagine he did a number on your self-esteem in order for you to buy into the idea that it was no big deal, your fault. It's very often denial on the part of the whole family that makes the wheels run smoothly and the abuse continue.
If you saw an adult do to a child what he did to you, what would you think? Discipline or abuse?
