Question

Help answer this question below.

When you were a kid (living at home) did you get spanked or otherwise physically "punished" (including beaten) when your parents thought you did wrong? Do you think those spankings/beatings/punishments really made you a better adult?

    My mum was one of those "Wait till your father gets home!" mums: You knew you were gonna get it and you had to wait maybe all day for it! My dad was a 'whack first, ask questions later' dad. Getting hit didn't bother me all that much, I was a pretty tough little kid, but later on he perfected the art of emotional abuse and that damn near destroyed me! But having said that, I've outlived him and my first husband who was a drunken bully, and I'm quite happy in my skin in spite of it all. Some of the other posts here are horrifying! I can't whinge too much, I never went through punishment anywhere near as rough as they did.
