| being open to new experiences means having higher levels of tolerance for difference and (to some extent) give and take. People can be open to new experiences while having a clear idea of what they do or don't need in a partner. My point is none of those things are necessary Some of those things ar... |

| Just because those things aren't important to you doesn't mean that at least some of them aren't to some people, so it's not a myth unless one tries to assert that preferences and relationship needs are the same for everyone. Very often, folks believe that their experience is true for everyone when ... |

| I don't think my parents were as bad as yours. The situation is a bit different. My parents genuinely thought that corporal punishment was beneficial for me. There wasn't a sadistic element to it unlike the abuse I experienced as an adult. I grew up in a religious cult. Most people believed "sp... |

| I'm not a fan of 'obedience,' either. My parents used to complain that I was a permissive parent since I never used corporal punishment and kept other punishments to a bare minimum, but my kid is turning out just fine. He makes good choices because he wants to, not because he fears punishment (or wh... |

| I wasn't a teacher for very long because it's really hard to help others when you need help. Helping kids felt great and I miss them, but it also wreaked havoc on my own mental health. I'm a mother and find that really challenging as well. Ideally, one will get as healthy as they possibly can before... |

| I don't want to define your experience, but I will say that it sounds severe to me. Sometimes kids aren't good at knowing how bad things are if that's what they're used to and all they've known. That's something that I've grappled with, too, including in abusive situations I've experienced as an adu... |

| I've wondered this myself although autism does run in my family. Sometimes I wonder if I'd be more BAP if I had a better upbringing with no corporal punishment or isolation. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about the abuse you experienced. I know that it's a really hard thing to live with, not that my expe... |
