Well, I've been living with my relatives for 2 months, and they spank, but very rarely, and not hard. I will say that I was taught by my father that parents should never spank in anger. Unfortunately, I do think that a lot of people do spank their children when they are angry and they probably put too much force behind a spanking.
I guess it would be fair to say I wasn't physically abused at least not by my dad. I do remember some kids at school telling me that if they cursed the way I did they would get a "whooping" which always kinda freaked me out, and sounded like abuse.
Is it just me that feels this way?
