My mom just broke my heart with a memory

I learned that with my mother.

Once you start to get used to the pain, carry on screaming like she's breaking your bones - or she'll just find a different tool to hit you with.

I'm on your side here

That's child abuse.

Yeah, because that would be not only stupid, but disrespecting their father. You take your swats & think about them the next time you think of doing something stupid. I was smart enough to just take the swats, hurt or no hurt.

That isn't child abuse to me.
