Have they suffered beatings from their parents?

Post Reply New Topic

Because my mom is still beating me, she hits me with whatever she finds, she gets angry with me for anything, and every mistake I make hits me. Has anyone had the same situation as me?

my old man beat me regularly and humiliated me in public often. i still live with that in terms of PTSD complex. i still have issues of self-esteem due to this and reinforced beat-downs from the other people in my life until 2008 when i was finally able to find relief from hostile people in hermithood. or hermitude. take your pick.

I was spanked until puberty age or so, but one-off instances after that have occurred, such as a physical encounter between my arm and a thrown wagon.

i had food sensitivities that my dad "cured" by yelling at me, "EAT IT OR I'LL POUND IT UP YER @$$! !"

My parents were abusive to me while I was growing up. However, beatings were more occasions. They would hit me.

Most abuse was narcissistic, mental, and emotional, and humiliation.

It may or may not be partially the reason why a part of me is always looking for a fight -- just for the sake of retaliating -- and having to restrain myself because I simply knew better, yet also having dilemmas right after...

Let's just say my mom stopped as soon as she had a realization that I'm not an NT.
Oh, but it's 9-10 years too late; she should've stopped since the day I was born.


And so there's still there, whatever it is, likely exists since pre-verbal stage.

Twisted by this other aspect that translates into a hunger for violence -- I fear and worry that I might retaliate and do something worse...

And at the same time, very tempted and wanting to actually just do it.

It's a tiring thing to exist with.
It feels like being torn between two or more negative forces all the time.

Nevermind the rest of other forces beyond the fight, flight, freeze and fawn.


I guess that's the closest real thing for me to actually suffer from psychologically; being torn from different directions in the inside; I could, I would, knowing I shouldn't, I mustn't.

I agree. Your mom has problems.


Anyway, writing about my situation made me cry. For years, I felt nothing but anger. I have not cried about my family in years.

Well my parents did spank me as a child, I don't really agree with that as I don't think it helped anything. Lol at least with my dad I knew what it was for when he did, my mom it was hard to predict and half the time when she gave me one I didn't even know what it was for.

Both their parents did worse than just a spank on the butt...my mom says her mom would use a wire hanger sometimes and one time made her brother eat cigarettes in a closet as punishment for smoking underage(sadly my moms brother died when he was like 20 fell asleep at the wheel and crashed his car so its the uncle I never met I have seen pictures of him though). As for my dad well his dad did like beat him and and use a belt sometimes and stuff like that...let's just say he didn't even bother going to his dads funeral when he died.

It's illegal to assault someone.

I fail to understand why parents think it is perfectly ok to assault their offspring.

My parents didn't beat me, but partners did.
I was an adult but I couldn't get away from them for legal reasons.

It's called Domestic Violence whether it's a romantic partner or a parent.
I know another grown man who gets beaten by his mother.

Would you consider reporting her?
