My Dad use to belt us kids in his drunken rage, well every 2nd to 3rd night for I don't know, 10 years maybe. One day my brother held a knife to my Dad's neck, I think he was about 15 at the time. I was so proud of my brother but remember also being shocked at the time, me also being the youngest. If I look back at now both my parents long gone from cancer, I see that my thoughts of my loving Mom, that she wasn't loving at all to us kids. This cemented in when she put in her will that us kids (now grown adults) are to receive nothing, she actually had it written 3 times in the will. Whilst I agree my oldest brother was mean (and ironically the favorite) the point is us kids weren't bad at all, how could we be if everything (including laughing) deserved a belting. I hate my passed parents now. I hate they gave me a horrible upbringing, I hate how they left me with nothing. If I went back to the night my brother held a knife to my Dad's neck, I'd say DO it, and Mom too. As life couldn't have been worse than it is now. I understand how anger, whilst unreasonable to act upon, can place you in that position. These days I fully understand reason, evidence, sceptism rationality you name it. I think that was the issue when I was a kid, I didn't understand how my parents were so unreasonable, so damn wrong. That they actually wanted my life to be hell, and paved the way for it. My Mom's beach house with pool (they inherited money from their passed parents later on) she ended up fully giving to her 85yo 'boyfriend'. Who also happens to be a horrible person. Just everything about my parents I detest. I dream I'm back in time hitting them. And I'm a pacifist.

@dansemacabre6515 Agreed. I had 2 kids, and also became a sole parent (partner left us all when kids were 4 and 3). Anyway: Zero corporal punishment. Full love, learning, and interested in their careers sports everything. Daughter is now a psychologist in a government job, highly secure no contract (ie forever if she wants) and on 110K PA. Son is a Co-Ordinator at one of the biggest known retail industries. On 75K PA, doing fantastic. Myself not so good (actually pretty I'm in the worst possible situation especially financially). But kids/adults are perfect, we are all close friends and family. They had the best life I could give them. ie Complete opposite to my parents. I think I learned these skills by not being home when young. I stayed at my friend's houses until very late at night. I surrounded myself with lots of good friends at the time. I remember at about 10 being at my friend's house and their Dad was about to come home! I said: Should I leave? I was in a cold sweat, I was ready to run out the door. My friend said its ok, Dad is good. He came home and immediately said: Hi how was your day at school? I can't tell you how shocked I was, I honestly thought all Dads belt their children. How was my day at school? I had never heard such a question before. It took years to work out most parents are loving and kind. That's the way I wanted to be as well.
