There were several ways we would get corporal punishment, one was a board with a carved handle a hole in the top for a piece of leather to hang it on the wall it also had holes in the spanking part to give the most it could, another thing was a large leather belt with a large metal buckle on it, and more times than not we would end up getting hit with the buckle. we would also be sent outside to get a switch, and if it wasn't what my parents thought it should be the punishment would be worse, and my Mom would have my Dad give the whippings, but if my Mom was questing me about something and she didn't like the answer i gave she would slap my face so hard i would end up on the floor. Back then nothing was done about any type of child abuse, it was all swept under the rug like it never happened, even when physical marks were left. Well ppl i need to stop for now, this is just a small portion of what i need to get out, but it is triggering a lot of flash backs, and anxitey, so i will go on at another time. Thank you all that are following me and supporting me.
