God, MTL. I'm so sorry. That's horrible
Thank you for your empathy.
I hope it is clear that my goal was not to garner pity,
but to give my input, on what I view as the ramifications,
at least in part, of the effect that severe corporal punishment can have, in the long term,
from an adult perspective.
That was what I experienced. Overly severe and misguided punishment.
My dad wasn't a drunk, it's not like he beat me with a wrench or molested me;
there are people who have had it much worse than me.
I'm just saying that it's yet another way that (religious) good intentions
may end up doing a lot more harm than good.
