It doesn't matter whether it happened to someone else or to you; it is objectively rotten. Maybe your parents were the wily wild animals that you couldn't turn your back on.
I do really think they do it to get a reaction from the client. I do think they do things to get a reaction and they can pounce on you. Perhaps they will not mock or ridicule you. One hopes for the best but prepares for the worst.
Physical abuse is not good.
My parents were not that bad. I only thought they might kill me, they really would not have.
