@darnell @Mina @futurebird Like I said before, if my dad hadn’t punished me, I wouldnt have learned. But that is only true *given who we both were*.

Physical violence from a parent or guardian, whether given in love or anger, is wrong. I love my late dad, even tho he did wrong in hitting me, just like he loved me, even tho I did wrong in “deserving” it.

What I owe my dad - for him taking the harm of having an unruly kid and having to beat me - is to learn a better way.

I don’t judge parents or guardians who do what they feel they must. Only an arrogant asshole would judge like that. But I do know some better ways. They are harder, and I recognize that.
