I am the same way. I get very agitated and fumed when children are abused. I too believe u Should never hit a child. I was very badly abused and even if I was I believe I would feel the same. There are other forms I discipline that aren't so archaic. Whether it's a smack across the face head butt or whatever it's not right.
I feel the same way when it's a man smacking his gf or wife. I've have gotten in the middle when a man full on slapped his gf at a restaurant because she had too much to drink and e wanted to leave. I am a small 5'3" female and I laid his *** out. Abuse is abuse. Bullying I bullying. No matter the form it's wrong.
I differ in that I don't have haunting thoughts of children being abused. I only have thoughts of getting rid of my childhood abusers. But I'm working with T on that issue. She sad I have very vivid and extremely violent fantasies.
