I'm not sure. As a child I had my share of smacks to the face/head, spanked with yard stick ruler thing, belt, and on a few occasions I was pushed to the floor or into the wall while being screamed at. I also am distant with both of my parents. I am very uncomfortable when they try to kiss my forehead or hug me. Affection from them is so awkward and uncomfortable for me. I dont know if this has to do with my punishments as a child or what. Sometimes I was left locked in the garage in the dark for a little bit of time. I dont hate my parents, infact sometimes I feel bad that I dont show affection and that when they do I just stand there and mumble "I love you." When my father kisses my head I even cringe and take a step back. I do not like it. Oh. Im also very hot headed like you. Im an angry person whose been diagnosed with bipolar and borderline personality.
I had nothing nearly that bad. Your past sounds horrible and I do not understand why you wouldn't hate your parents.
Personally I would have grown up to kill them.
my parents beat me a few times too but it wasn't all that bad. more threats and a lot of yelling. but honestly all that crap has honestly gotten us closer. it's like the worst is all over and done with and we all get along. (save my brother but we're talking about my parents here.)
i would say that the fact that i was beaten did not have an adverse effect on my adult relationship with my parents.
what makes beating kids wrong is after their beaten they're a little more violent inside. if their greatest role models think that beating them is alright then why can't the child beat the kid at school that called him a name?
violence begets more violence. and besides it's really annoying how bitchy parents force us adults to dumb down our shit to make it more "appropriate" for the life-style they've set out their children to have. then turn around and not let your kid play mortal kombat but you kick their asses? just seem illogical to me. i guess i got to wait and see. but no matter what i will never beat my kid. (as a child, i'm free to kick their asses once they grow up.)
Is this a normal reaction to spankings as a kid?
