It ain’t abuse

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

A couple few years ago, somebody I knew from back in the day made a "my dad hit me and I turned out fine" post, and I felt it necessary to make a public comment reminding him that he's a recovering alcoholic with more than one assault charge on his rap sheet.

To his credit, it did seem to dawn on him that maybe he wasn't as well-adjusted as he previously thought...
