It completely amazes me that there are parents that are able to rear their children without threat of physical punishment. More power to them... I grew up when it was very common to get the living hell beat out of you for simply yawning at the dinner table. I remember getting beat as a 7 year old to the point that I literally urinated myself. Sometimes I wonder if these are the reasons why I have such resentment towards my mother. I'm not claiming I was an angel, far from it but I don't think those beatings helped to change my behavior

I think some of us are better at being introspective than others too. Some people who were beat do think they are fine but I really doubt they are they just don't know how to open that can of mental worms.

I'm sure it plays a part especially if it was the go to punishment.
