(((Kazine))),

I am so sorry and I do understand what it is like when people think "poking and grabbing" is funny and just don't get how much it truely "isn't". I have had a startle reaction all my life from my childhood so I totally understand that sensitivity. My husband is a very "animated physical person" and he tends to poke when he is talking, whether he is exicted or just trying to make a point. I am an old broken record now of asking him to please not do that.

When I raised my daughter I did not allow any hitting, or spanking either. I personally feel it is the wrong way to dicipline a child and also teaches them to resolve things by hitting.

This is going to take you time to work on, you will probably always be senstive. I am so sorry that you were in a relationship with an abusive person.
