My husband of 9 years slapped me in front of our son for the first time today. Should I slap him back to show my husband that if he hits me again, he’ll get the boomerang treatment, and to show our son that his mother isn’t afraid of his father?

Wow! You have some spirit girl!
But i don’t think violence is the answer. talk to him and give him ultimatum that such behaviour you will not tolerate again.
I am sure he will understand how serious you are.
You have good courage, but I would say a threat will work better. Bullies are afraid, not brave.
Just tell him today that you will go to police next time he even raise his voice on you.
Trust me, he will not dare to touch you again,
Rather than making your hands dirty take some legal action against him so that he won’t repeat it again. No doubt you have got guts but don’t let anyone point finger at you.
