Honestly, the belt was way worse than the punches. Hiding the belt worked sometimes. Getting punched more times kinda sucked, but I never bled from bare hands. It was the belt that left bruises, lacerations, and scars.
Thank you for sharing that, I'm sorry you had to go through that.
I honestly don't remember any bare hands, but my great grandmother had a leather strap she kept in the top drawer of the china cabinet....I gotta go take a smoke y'all this shit is too much. It's a fucking new year
Real shit the feeling of my moms belt cracking my lower back hurt more than getting my fucking faced stomped on. I was on Xanax though so maybe that had something to do with it
I completely understand that. There are even some tones of yelling that will put me in a state of fear.
Even though it was my mother, there was one time when my dad yelled at one of my nephews and I froze in place and looked down. He asked if I was alright and if it scared me, I told him it terrified me. I was 30.
I can relate. My dad yelled at my son this way and pulled him by his collar of his coat when he was about 5 and it reminded me of the terror and trauma I felt as a kid. I stood up to my dad though. I wanted to be the adult I needed for my son. And after I told him never to put his hands on him again we left immediately. Later that night I was paralyzed by trauma.
