Yes both her and Stan have both mentioned that he'd never hit her even though he threatened it. Yet his original character was a violent alcoholic who regularly knocked Hilda about and beat their other 2 kids that ended up in care. When their daughter Irma was In it, she never really had a good word to say about Stan and she often mentioned how he use to knock Hilda about and her siblings and thought her mother was stupid to stay with her violent lazy alcoholic father, who steal from Hilda purse to buy a drink meaning the kids went without eating. Yet they somehow changed him into a loveable rogue that still spent every penny boozing and made Hilda work for his boozing
