Beat it out of me.

When i was young my mother would make me sit in a chair and she'd stand in front of me. She'd make me sit there for hours. She'd stand there and just wait for me to have a tic or outburst. When i did she'd hit me or slap me across the face. Some times she'd hit me so hard I'd get black eyes, nose bleeds and bruises.
Once she even knocked me out cold.

She was told by our doctor that i was faking and that my tourettes wasn't real. That i was doing it for attention. So she felt if she hit me enough i would stop.
