Define the line btwn "tough love" and child abuse?

@SW-User oh snap..i take it your parents are asian?

@foldedunfolding indeed 😅

@SW-User aw im sorry you have struggled. i have also encountered many black people who think being slapped in the face is entirely normal! and white parents like mine, who turned off water and sent me to bed sudsy from a shower..made me sleep outside..grounded me from food..tried to sell my cat when i was an adult..stole my car and my brothers when i was an adult and my brother was a teen..sent me to a homeless shelter, etc etc etc

@foldedunfolding im sorry you had to go through all that, I wish parents understood the concept of empaty and gentleness..

@SW-User aw thanks..one of the worst parts was ACTUALLY that i lacked the bruises to prove it
