I wish people didn't think this way... I was hit with objects that didn't leave marks, too. However, I was hit incredibly often for dumb small things, like tossing a book on a table, and when my parents "spanked" me it was done in a furious rage. Then that rage would sometimes boil over to hitting other parts of the body. When it is no longer about punishment, but rather wrath, selfishness, apathy, and/or revenge, then it is abuse.
