AITA for Cutting Off My Aunt?

My aunt was the one who paid for the hospital when I was born, and even my name was inspired by hers—just with a different spelling. I’ve always loved my relatives, but over the years, the abuse I endured from them outweighed any love I had, especially from her.

She often hit me for the smallest reasons. For instance, one night I was on the phone with my then-best friends. We were having so much fun, laughing a lot. The next day, she slapped me—accusing me of talking to a man and "seducing" him because of the way I laughed. When I tried to explain it was just my friends, she slapped me again for "talking back." On another occasion, she held me by the neck tightly, and I even recorded it on video.

Now that I’m finally free—I moved to another city for work—I’ve decided to block her. I ignored her friend request from a new account and have had no contact with her since. According to my mom, she’s been calling me horrible names and even threatening to find me and hurt me.

I went through so much to get to where I am now. The number of times I considered ending everything, the hunger I endured, and the jealousy I felt seeing other families who seemed so loving—it all made me realize I had to cut her and most of my relatives out of my life.

So, Reddit, am I the asshole?
