Yeah, to each its own and the definition of abuse is really varied. I don't consider physical punishment as abuse as long as it's done in the way you're describing alltho' I can't see myself doing the same to my kids when I get some of my own. Parenting is exactly what the word states; It's the parents decision on how they want to raise their childs as long as it's not excessive aka beating your kid for no reason or keep them locked in a room/sit-out for hours. With what I used to work with I've seen kids hit their parents and disproved it in silence as well. When kids get violent/physical it's mostly due to them being frustrated and not knowing how to express their feelings, sitting down with them and learning them how to convey a certain issue with words removes that unless you suck as a parent.

And the family thing; Word, was just stating that it differs considering OP's situation and that he might read it. It was probably asshole-ish of me to be as blunt as I was, just wanted OP to know that there's ways to solve this shit if it's really bad and that he shouldn't feel obliged to be in a place where abuse takes place just because they're fam.

Yo prophet, If you're getting abused you have to report that shit to the police.
If it's just for disciplinary purposes, then it will build your character and make you a better man.
But there's a fine line between discipline & abuse. When that shit starts to get out of hand, you have tot tell someone.

word @Anonymous.... work out just cuz... call someone if it's that deep - AND:

in the meantime, kill with kindness dude.

if you don't deserve to be beat, just say "i love you", and nothing more. say it a couple times if you need to.

might sound weak to the weak, but watch.

they are going to either have immediate changes, or deal with more pain later on than you'd ever take on in the moment.

I hate your family too.

speak to ur guidance councler at school and say how ur daddy spanks u...if things work out well, u will have a new residence shortly after.

This thread will not bode well for ur rd1 tournament experience.
