Bravo to you!! My hats off to you! You are a shining example of a human being who overcame such abuse. Anyone who thinks out so carefully on how to hit a child in any way or form, has some real issues, let alone with no clothes on. Creepy. Something twisted there. It is sad that a parent does not explore other nonviolent options to get through to a child. No one said that being a parent was going to be easy, but we learn from our children as much as they learn from us.
