My parents are one sided! I mention a no hitting/spanking site mom was like "That's one person opinion" I said no it's doctors,psychologist etc. Her: Oh I don't want to hear it!! ! I went to my room to once again cry into a pillow upset! OMG! This seems to be becoming a daily occurrence for me!! !! ! It was so bad yesterday I cried and pretended to scream something I've NEVER done before!! !! !! !! !! It's crushing ME!! !! ! I thought positively (Hey don't cry depressed get up and do something about it) but what?! ! Sure I've had a violent history (Pushed my dad last week and other things with the kids but after reading that site I'd like to change.

Yes I've yanked the phone from the 10 year old and yanked them to get into the room and have yelled etc.) but after reading that site I've had a change of heart I want to change this negative behavior but my parents REFUSE to listen to FACT! Not just ONE DAMN PERSON! Psychologist,doctors etc. SAY IT'S WRONG! They are to one sided as I said! I'm so lost and confused please help!

Sadly, I'm not sure there's any way to make someone listen to reason who refuses to

As the comedian Simon Munnery says, "I don't expect to be listened to... One does not expect dwarves to queue for the rack."
