Is my father hitting me on accident abuse?

writing this on mobile so please be nice about typos.

once last summer my dad m(40) had brought home a bucket full of what was called Twizzler Whips. they wer the longest twizzlers I had ever seen and was about as big as my forearm.

for a small bit of context, I love twizzlers. or at least I used to.

my dad told us that if we wanted one we had to play a "game". my little brother and sister both wanted one so they instantly agreed, I also agreed, because I love(d) twizzlers. my dad continued to explain this "game" and said that if we wanted one, each of us would have to get lightly hit with one of these candy whips. he promised, it wouldn't hurt, after all it was just a "game".

one after another, he lightly tapped my little sister and brother on their arm and they ran off excited with their long ropes of candy trailing behind them.

and then it was my turn.

my dad having built up momentum and excitement with my siblings joy, hit me a little bit harder. the twizzler wizzed through the air with force. my dad was holding my arm still so I couldn't flinch away from the blow.

in short, it left a harsh welt on my arm. I didnt scream, I didnt cry, I just stood there shocked. this man had promised me that he would protect me from any danger that came my way. well this time he was the danger.

while yes my wound stung, what stung even worse is that my dad would ever do this to me. he promised that it was an accident and he didnt mean to hurt me. but now every time im in the same room as twizzlers im anxious, angry, and scared. and I feel the same way whenever im around my father and there's candyof any sort in the room.

I know this sounds fake and I wouldn't belive it either if I hadn't been through it. but my question still stands, was this abuse? ive talked to my friend about it and they say that it was, but my mom and others I talk to about it say that because it wasn't intentional, it wasn't abuse. im very confused and hurt and I just want to understand whats going on. so was it abuse?
