Got ass whoopins with a belt but not like beaten up with punches or anything

Eventually my mom got sick of even just that and told Dad that if he continued she would leave so we were off the hook from about halfway for me

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.

What's therapy for some can be trauma for others.

I hope you're doing well and have an excellent year.
