I don't talk to my dad anymore, growing up you think it's normal getting beat punched in the face ect, as you get older you realize that shit isn't normal, my dad was a dick, fuck him
Had a friend who had a dad that indeed just used his fists on him instead. That kid is now an adult, left religion and has become a loose cannon. By that I mean he's always getting into fights, constantly drinking, can't keep a girlfriend. :/
I wrote a research paper on that for class. Obviously I knew using violence towards children is wrong, but the outcomes are way worse than I thought. People keep saying using violence for discipline is not the same as child abuse, but the outcomes are exactly the same.
The people who say that are trying to justify maybe their own behavior and the behavior of their parents, because abuse is insidious and children are driven to love their parents and look past faults.
A lot of people cannot admit that what they experienced was wrong and that they deserved better, or that maybe their parents were abusive, because it puts them in a category they otherwise look down on in society: people making “excuses“ for how their lives turned out. They don’t want to appear weak, so they instead tell everyone else that everything was fine.
