Thread theme song. If you were actually abused or severally bullied I hope you all make it and they should just give us compensation anyways for not going ER
(I would never go ER because violence is never the answer and while my parents hit me I'm still a good person so you should just get over it
)
I voted a few times every month. My family was the biggest bully in my life. There were some months I didn't get hit and some weeks I got hit more than once.
I admit sometimes I did something wrong were you could say I "deserved" it. Though many times it was for something minor or where I actually did nothing wrong but they were just quick to get angry and wouldn't give me a chance to explain.
They used to mainly use coat hangers like this until they realized that if you attempt to block it and they hit hard enough it would just break especially if you cause them to hit your arm with the middle part.
Afterwards mostly belts and electric cords (not with the plug just the wire part hitting me) if they wanted it to be more psychologically devastating I guess. It was more scary the first few times but if you can block it with your arms to avoid a direct hit and act like you're in pain (they'll go harder if they think it's not hurting you) it's better than being hit with a belt buckle. JFL if you think getting hit with a weak coat hanger or "a belt" (soft part) a few times counts as a "beating".
Been hit with sticks (plastic and wooden) too and even broomsticks (very ineffective) but they usually wouldn't go as hard with a more "lethal" weapon. Also a lot of chasing around and throwing things. You get better at dodging and they get more angry when they fail several times in a row.
Belt buckles and sticks would occasionally cause bruises. Like they wouldn't try to hit me as hard as they possibly could to avoid visible injuries
Worst beating was from my mom beating me pretty hard for 1-2 minutes maybe almost as hard as she could. When I showed off my new tattoos (bruises) to my family later that day my momma told me to wear long sleeves at school to cover them up and I listened.
I didn't even do anything wrong just had no chance to explain. Basically my sibling intentionally caused me to make a mistake and next thing I know my mom is coming at me when I refused to immediately fix it.
If I knew my parents were about to hit me I'd just put on a winter jacket like this one even if it's summer. They tried it once or twice before realizing it wouldn't be effective and would just give up if they saw us with a jacket on
I tried to confront my parents about this when I got older but they'd act as if they forgot or it wasn't that bad. Some of my siblings were hit hard too but they'd be like "why does it matter now?, just deal with it bro"
I was beaten the shit out of not by my parents, but by my older Chad brothers for stupid or no reasons, so I don't know if that counts. God I fucking hate them, soys and foids would somehow say it was justified
That counts. If your parents saw it happening they should have stepped in before it got too bad. Also your Chad brothers deserve a big hug in minecraft (violence is never the answer).
