How do you tell someone who says: "Well, i was hit as a child and i'm okay," that they're the minority?
Answer:
That sounds fine to me. But, I was beaten up as a child and I actually am very ok. I'm a great parent, well rounded adult, I have a wonderful and stable life. I've worked through it all and seperated myself from my parents. So, I'll take it as a compliment that I'm in the minority =)
I think you just did it quite nicely.
You can't tell them because they're in denial and they just don't know that they are not okay.
I say."that's what you think".LOL
I was spanked and it's taken a long time to get over it.
If it's against the law to hit your wife or a stranger.how can it be OK to hit your child?
Do you really think they are the minority? I think that if you were hit as a child that you need to accept it, but not let it affect your your life now. You need to let go of it.
I got hit when I was a child, that was the way people disciplined their children back then, it really has no consequence on my life now except that it taught me that there are consequences for my actions, that I should respect other people and that I should think before I act.
Now if you are talking about really being beat, then that is a different story and counseling could help.
I know many people hit as a child and now they "realy" OK, including myself but I think they're still the minority.
There is a big difference between hitting the child on the bottom, as disclipine and beating abusively. Most people have experienced the spanking, and learned not to do whatever it was that caused it. As they got older they realized that it was for their own good. The kids that were abused however, never get that understanding and therefore have issues. And even kids who were abused will look back and say yeah, I deserved punishment on that time. The problem is they weren't just punished, but beaten.
