Have your Parents ever used Corpal punishment on 18year olds

Post Reply New Topic

Can you go outside and throw eggs at a tree (one thats not to close to anyones house?)

guys dont focus too much on the legality of it, what matters is what she went through and needs to do now.

The way I see it:

1- you're an adult and it is not your home. I understand it is hard but you need to keep this in mind.
2- try to find an alternative to throwing things. Have you considered buying a small punching bag (boxing) and using it to relieve stress?
3- if the physical 'punishment' continues or is a constant, then at that point it is indeed battery and assault. Moving out is a very good option if its open to you.
4- if moving out is not an option, speak directly to your mother and remind her you are not a child and that your condition needs her support not her anger.


Hoping for the best for you!

No. My parents would never, ever hit me now (I'm 19) as I'm a grown-up! To do so would be assault. You wouldn't tolerate some random woman hitting you in the street would you?

Try to release your anger in a more peaceful way? That's not easy but I tend to chill out by putting my headphones on and playing thumping music I like really loudly. Maybe that might help?

The last time my mother tried to hurt me, I was 17. As she came towards me, I realized that I was at last stronger than her. I shielded myself with one arm and pushed her away with the other.

See, that's what confuses me; she said whipping, but she also said that she put her hands on her; there's a pretty significant difference between spanking and whipping as far as I can tell. I don't really want to reply further without knowing which it was, because it will change my answer.

Well you shouldn't be throwing things. If you act like a kid, you gonna get your ass whooped. You should find another way to relieve stress. I'm sorry you feel alone but I'm sure it happens to other kids at home and 18yo seniors in high school. You could move out on your own but I think getting whooped is better than paying rent and other bills.

Yes, I agree. There's better ways to relieve stress. Like a stress ball you can pick up from a drugstore, or one of those Hoberman Sphere doohickeys or Silly Putty. She does have every right to get mad at you for throwing things (was this at her house? I wouldn't like someone throwing my stuff around. If this was in your room with your own stuff, it's technically within your rights to throw your stuff). I'd suggest finding better ways to relieve stress that are less destructive (music works, so does TV and shiny things. Hooray for shiny things!) or talk to a psychiatrist about what you can do to alleviate stress.
