Should I bail my ex-boyfriend [M22] for physically hurting me [F21], or just let it go and move on?

My relationship with my boyfriend wasn’t good from the start. It was emotionally abusive at first, and sooner it lead to punching me at one point and left large bruises on my arm, face and popped my lips (this was a year ago). I asked helped from his mom and she told me to break up with him for a moment to let things cool down, but I was stupid and so blind, I did not listen to her.

Last night we went drinking with one of his friends. We woke up this morning and while hangover, he started a conversation about my personal issues. I’m very depressed lately, and things weren’t going so good in my life. He started taunting me, then making fun of my depression, then started telling me things like I should kill myself because I’m just a burden for my family, his life and my friends. I told him to be quiet but he would never stop. This went on for full fifteen minutes. I got tired, so I just put my earphones on so I won’t hear him anymore.

I was laying on the bed. He then kicked me on my thigh. I told him what the hell was wrong with him, and he took his desk chair and threatened to throw it to me. This made me so mad I shouted and slapped him on the face. He punched me on my left hip, then stomach. I shouted at the door so his mother could hear me. “Your son is physically hurting me!” I opened the door and let his mother in, I told her what he did to me and she helped me get out of the room. She told me I should bail him and advised me that I should take a break from seeing him, which I would gladly now do so.

My hip now is very painful and bruised. I told myself the next time he hit me, I would break up with him. Now I did. Should I bail him or just move on?
