we are not the best place to be turning to for help/advice. we don't know you that well, and even among friends who DO know you well, sometimes it is hard to give/receive advice when you don't know the full picture and when our own experiences with abuse are heavily influencing our response. if the purpose of posting here is just to get your story out or open up a general discussion on ipv in butch/femme relationships, that's one thing. but it seems like you are looking for some sort of advice or affirmation of what you did/what you should do next, and i'm not sure this is the best environment to get that.

you need to seek out a therapist and/or a support group with experience dealing with intimate partner violence in queer relationships. if you don't know of any i can help you find some via pm. but honestly that will be way more helpful than anything we can tell you.

So, am I crazy? What can I do in this situation? Should I cut off contact with her? If we are meant to be, is it worth it at all to try to fix anything or continue in the future?
you're not crazy. leave, get counseling, encourage her to get counseling, maintain boundaries for the sake of your well-being.
