Were you raised this way?

no, my dad used his hands to hit me, until I got so angry that I told him if he touched me again I'd beat the crap out of him. he never tried again. I still sometimes wish I had made him pay for the years of abuse. I used to have fantasies about going to his house and beating him up.

No, my dad didn't need that. He didn't need to resort to that to keep me in line.

Yup

Nope, like others, dad used his big hand... repeatedly. I guess I was a bit slow to learn.

Yes 😂 especially my granddads.
