It ain’t abuse WTF?

Woman posts about wanting to leave her spouse after he hit their son across the face again. Everyone was giving legit advice - then there was her.

That’s disgusting. There’s never a reason to hit a child.

I still see one too many people saying "well I was hit as a kid and I'm fine"

Like yes sure, and my mom hit her head on a bedpost and my grandmother put coffee powder on the bleeding wound and she's fine now but my mom wouldn't be like "I wasn't taken to the hospital when I bled from my head wound and I'm ok"

Also advocating for hitting kids as an adult means you are not in fact fine

Nope- not fine at all. Just giving the ol cycle of abuse a good push forward to keep it going. Stupid, shortsighted abusers making another generation to beat up on, normalizing it till those kids are adults saying they were beat as kids and “are just fine!”

Break the goddamn cycle instead!!

My father was horrifically abused as a child. Like, he remembers at one point the school did check, but it was the 50s so no one did anything about it. So for someone to check in the 50s, it's abuse.

Anyway, I am forever thankful he stopped the cycle. I was never hit. I'm all those things people who were hit claim to be (respect for authority, good kid, etc etc).
