Hitting your kids page 29

There is a massive difference between 'warning warning swat' and 'i will fucking kill you'

and you can shove your own hypocritical apology, you're no better. Its easy to throw threats around when someone makes you angry huh

Not to a small child its not.
Its still fear.
I don't know about you, but my physical abuse started with just smacks, and lead to more. Maybe that doesn't always happen, but who knows.

Eh, at least Mr. Pervy is logically consistent. If it's ok for a parent to hit their kids, it's ok for a husband to hit his wife.

For the female pro-hitters in here, how would you feel about your boyfriends/husbands hitting you to correct your behavior?

If I was incapable of rationale thought, the cause/effect relationship, still unaware of right and wrong, and completely 100% dependant on him for shelter, food, physcial and emotional well-being, and he slapped my hand when I went for the hot stove...then I guess I would be okay with it...but then again, I would be a 34 year old woman with the mind and intellect of a 4 year old...so...I think my boyfriend would have bigger problems that just hitting me to correct my behavior.
Your argument=holes

Jesus christ. No life is not like that for most people, just the ones who are dealt a bad hand

Given the size and development difference between a child and adult, no I fail to see any difference there. It's the equivalent of King Kong "swatting" at you because you accidentally bumped into his cupboard or something.

And you're seriously upset about me throwing clearly hyperbolic threats at child abusers, and mainly at a guy who readily admits to beating his wife? You shove it, hypocritical women like you are 50% the reason this cycle continues.

I am sorry you suffered abuse too, but I am glad the times you got just smacked you could tell the difference.
Did that smack not make you fear more that it was going to be worse though?

So was it cruel to tell our kids when they acted up we were going to sell them to the gypsies?
And even threatened to call 1-800-gypsies?

The same.
Physical abuse for me began with very normal swats or spankings as a small child and escalated...
Escalated to pretty much anything goes abuse from my father.
Then, as is quite normal for girls from abusive homes, I allowed myself to receive abuse from male partners.
A LOT of abuse.

oh please be careful here.
People who are abused at the time think the person is doing it still loves them, and is doing it because they love them. You don't learn this is BS until much later.

Bloodorchid, why was the abuse not OK, but the smacks were? I am trying to understand where you are coming from.

yeah sucks that happens
thankfully I did eventually find a decent man who would never ever hurt me.

And I realised last night, emotional abuse can be just as bad.

Sucks when you get both from the person who was supposed to be protecting and loving you. Then getting 2 years of it as an adult, its the reason I got over weight in the first place.
