Is it normal being spanked bare bottom with a belt?
I'm 30 y/o woman and I'm not sure if the way I was disciplined as a kid would be considered abuse or if it's still considered acceptable spanking.
I was a strong-willed kid & got into trouble all the time, & also was raised by a young single mother. She'd always warn me first, but if I messed up again, it was over her knee.
Usually I got it with the belt & always bare bottom over her knee in her bedroom. Depending on what I did I'd get anywhere from 10 whacks to dozens more. It was hard enough to where I was crying & red the next day, but not so hard to leave long lasting marks.
She always talked to me about why I'd be getting spanked & hugged me after. The spankings stopped when I was around 13.
Would this be considered abuse or is it normal discipline?
