Dear GhanaWeb: My husband slapped me in front of my 11-year-old daughter for the first time

Dear GhanaWeb,

During a heated argument, my husband shocked me by slapping me in front of our 11-year-old daughter.

The incident occurred in a moment of intense conflict, catching me off guard and leaving me shaken.

In the aftermath, the desire to retaliate and slap him back in front of our daughter as a demonstration of fearlessness has crossed my mind.

However, upon reflection, I realize the importance of considering the potential consequences and the impact it could have on our child's well-being.

How do I make my daughter understand this? I am conflicted.
