>>7203832My old man was a drunk who adopted me at birth because he couldn't have kids and when he finally did it turned out with downs syndrome. As a result of his biological child being literally retarded my dad took it out on me by whoopping the shit out of me.
Every day he'd come home south of the gills to beat the shit out of me and yell at me about how all his problems were my fault. Why he lost his boat? My fault. Why he has to work 2 jobs? My fault. Why his marriage is falling apart? Yup my fault.
He was a mean violent man that told me it would straighten me out because I was evidently so awful for being born. It fucked me up for a while but it made me toughen up in my teens. I'd eventually fight back to assert myself. Put him through a window after throwing him down the stairs and working him good. I wasn't going to let him beat me anymore. Never did again after that.
Can't say it wasn't negative and positive. It made me very standoffish and intense which has served me well but not everything is a fight. I've gotten into more than my fair share of fights because of it. Mom was and still is a saint. When it comes to mom I don't fuck around. I'll throw down anywhere for moms.
I whoop my kids when they're bratty but not like my dad did. There's a line between discipline and abuse.
I'd never give my child an Irish kiss unless they wanted to throw down. If my son squares up imma lay him out.
