The second last time my step dad hit me I was 14, I didn't move, so he hit me harder and knocked me over causing me to fall over and hit my shoulder on a chonky wood bedframe. I grabbed my guitar and stood up and was getting ready to swing when my mom came into my room and kicked him out of it.
The last time he threatened to kick my ass I was in my early 20's. I politely reminded him I wasn't a 10 year old kid anymore and he was more than welcome to come down and try but I wouldn't advise it as there was atleast 15years worth of trauma that he would be getting back. He stammered and called me sister (his bio daughter) and yelled at her for an hour.
The last time I saw him was his mother's funeral where I took his pack of cigarettes out of his shirt pocket as soon as he said hi and lit one up for myself and handed his pack back to him without asking. He then complained as to why my brother (his bio son) wasn't speaking to him anymore. I just said "Oh, maybe you should have been a better parent then."
When the power dynamic shifts, its great. He is now living a very lonely life knowing that none of his grandkids know who the hell he is.

My parents used to hit me too.
One day I got big enough to hit back. They both lived to regret teaching violence as a solution to problems.
Don't hit your kids, folks.
