    5-10. After that my dad was too afraid of me to punish me, because I'd retaliate like a motherfucker on his abusive failparent ass. I took a part out of his much needed computer rendering it useless, and would turn on the lights in his car all night, so it wouldn't start in the morning. Any parent who physically punishes their child is an absolutely terrible human being, and should be sent to prison with the same possible sentence as rapists. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. And if my dad ever once was nice to me or explained why he wanted me to do things/not do things instead of the infamous "because i said so, or i'ma punish you," then I actually would have listened to him.

    Hmm I remember getting hit when I was 14 so that was probably the last time. I got threatened a lot after that but I don't think my father beat me again. I always remember when i was little getting hit and then hit again for crying which would sometimes lead to a repeating loop of continual beating. Obviously if I had of been a faster learner I would have stopped crying but I was emotional when I was little.

    I was never spanked, thank God. Although I was restrained and held down for doing things like causing problems in public places like supermarkets in a way that felt very physical, pain or even humiliation was never the intention. I don't understand what would motivate a parent to actually hit their own child :/

    My dad paddled my bare butt the summer between my junior and senior yr of high school so i was 17----I had been paddled during earlier teens so it was not that big a shock--I had lied to a man who trusted me the most--and got caught---I hated the pain on my bare butt----I did have it coming

    Well I think I was 8 when they started grounding me instead. I was very young when they stopped doing it. When I got grounded my parents usually grounded me for nothing though.

    I think it was when I was 10. I did something very stupid. I tried to repair an old radio (When I say repair, I meant try and make it into a TV-radio hybrid) I crossed some wires the wrong way. Sparks came out and I set that radio on fire. My father gave me a slap in the face and a ton of yelling. :D
    That's the last time (And I think only time) I was hit by my parents.
    LoL! Funny memmory that is...

    I remember in the past, my grandmother on my mother's side has caused me bodily harm. The last I remember was when she twisted my wrists, despite knowing full well that I have muscular issues! That happened about a year ago and I even wrote a post on here about the horrific event. O_O

    Never have. Although they have punched me on the arm, or in the face, nothing else.

    My mother burned the bottom of my feet with cigarettes when I was a baby. I wonder if it had any lasting effects?

    I was best regularly up until I was 15 when my dad came after me for asking my nephew to do a better job rinsing his dirty plate before putting it in the dishwasher. He bolted into my room while I was holding my parrot and began to hit me with his belt landing blows both on me and the parrot which I was able to get back in its cage. He stopped hitting me when I took my belt off and went at him with it. We still get in occasional fist fights but nothing to bad. I'm just biding my time till I can afford to leave and then I don't ever think I'll come back. By the way the parrot was an still is fine 3 years later.

    I was never physically punished. My mum hit me and my brother on a couple of occasions only whilst pulling us off each other during a fight, which you can't really count.

    Last time my father hit me it was when I was fifteen in the face. He also took a hold of both my legs and dragged me down on the floor from my bed. After he was done with yelling at me for over an hour(when I actually needed to study for a test), he said to me: come out in five minutes and say you are sorry, or I'll leave.

    He had it us for as long as I can remember,my mom, my older sister. And not in a little house on the praire way, the mean, hurtful, selfish terrifying way. And I was angry, for many, many, years. and finally when I was 14 I started to challenge him.

    That one last day, I had said to him while arguing on the phone that he's not my dad.
    So when he came home that night at ten he was gonna tell me how fatherly he actually is. And in his rampage he asked me "Am I not your father?!" and I said "your my biological father".

    5 minutes went, and I never came out. After that he left, and we havent spoken a single word since then.

    It stopped when I physically more powerful than my mum at age 12, she tried to spank me but I grabbed her hand, picked her up and ran away after putting her down, relax, shes not weak, she broke someones nose when I was younger O.O I was just a monster of a child, being 6'4" at age 16.

    I didn't know my dad really, my mum used to ask my uncle to do it, I was always naughty haha.

    The last time I recall
    getting spanked was when I was like, 8 or something.
    Even so, it was rare for me to get spanked.

    I'm not sure...possibly the time I got the scissors stuck in my leg, but there may have been a few after. That was when I was eight.
