[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was growing up I was slapped for having a “smart mouth” enough that I remember flinching automatically on occasion when my parent was just reaching for a glass in the kitchen cabinet or something on a shelf. I consider that abusive and I still have issues as a result.[/quote] This was me too. When I was younger it was spanking and being hit with a belt or terrible threats. As I got older it was face slapping. Funny the term "smart mouth" was often used as justification too. But that meant I disagreed with my mother or questioned a parenting or lifestyle choice. I was never disrespectful by calling names, using profanities, or screaming. I was actually a really good and obedient teenager and it makes me sad to think about how I was raised now. [/quote]
