RE: I was Spanked and I Turned Out OK—or did I?

Cool article. I broke off a 30 year friendship over "beliefs" about spanking. She's a hot mess. My beatings by my father produced a desire in me to turn people's minds into pretzels, but never any aggression towards children, and I never hit my son who is 32 now and he will attest to the fact that I am a very cool mom because I respect him as a human being. Nice to meet you here I write about awareness mostly.

That is excellent. It makes me so happy to hear these stories, especially when the child has thoughts about a parent who treated them as dignified human beings. Amazing. Thanks for sharing. I hope stories like these will resonate with others or act as a teachable moment.
