ITT: abusive childhoods I was just in a thread with a dude who

My father regularly beat me with his belt as a way to discipline me. That's it really.

I knew a guy who's dad would just beat them out of anger when he was little.
That was back in middle school and he was very robotic.

Wonder if he's here now...

A good ol' beating, nothing wrong with that. I think that this generation is over sensitive about spanking your kid once in a while for good discipline.

It wasn't spanking, it was getting the buckle bloody. I have scars all over my back.

>>38259075
That's fucked.

I was already a minibot before my aunt's abuse really ramped up into overdrive (starting in my early teens). It definitely made me worse, though.

Beating your kids is despicable.

I don't believe in the meme that physical abuse is worse than other forms of abuse, but there are ways of dealing with children that do not rely on cruelty. It's not about an "over sensitive" generation, it's about teaching your kid that they shouldn't hurt others and that they don't deserve to be hurt. When you strike a child, you set a dangerous precedent that might makes right and that some actions warrant being deprived of rights.

While maybe slapping a kid who says some really awful shit may be defensible, beating a kid with a belt is a whole 'nother level. You clearly have never been beaten so hard you pissed yourself.
