thank you, I think you put it better than I did with the drinking analogy. I was getting really tired of getting berated for not calling my parents abusers and abusive.

Jesus Christ you’re tired and I’m bored with you. I’m going to go back to work, you keep doing whatever it is your doing, harassing people about their family dynamics or what have you. Have a blessed day.

please cut and paste where i said “it’s ok to hit children” in those words.

I really don’t have to make a choice for you.

did I say my parents were perfect?

once again, for the people with poor reading comprehension, I never said it was ok for my parents to hit me, I just refuse to let you or me call them child abusers or abusive. I can say it’s not ok to hit kids while not labeling my parents as child abusers as you’d like me to.

Also my loyalty to my parents means leaps and bounds more than some rando stranger on the internet hell bent on labeling my parents and my own personal experience against my wishes.

I have a sneaking suspicion that you might be Caucasian based on this statement alone “because your loyalty to your parents means more to you than anything else.”

Why is it so important to you that I call my parents abusive? I’m curious about everyone else who finds it important to tell other people what to call or how to label their childhood experiences? I mean, even basic understanding of treating people with trauma tells you that you shouldn’t label the experience of

Uh, I never said it was ok for my parents to hit me, it was misguided and based on their upbringing. But I will never call it child abuse because to me getting hit with a belt twice over the course of 18 years doesn’t constitute as abuse TO ME personally. If i came across this case as a professional I would have

Listen, if ya’ll can’t understand that insulting my parents is problematic that’s on you. My ‘sensitive’ reaction diminishes it as something like im being irrational. Like I’ve stated before, neither you, nor a bunch of internet folks get to define my experience or my parents for me. Isn’t that pretty clear?

It amazes me that people don’t know how to read. 1) you don’t get to define my experience for me, nor my relationship with my parents. If you want to call yourself an abuse survivor, by all means go for it. Its your experience to tell. However you don’t get to define my experience with my parents as yours. Just like I

Honestly, thats why I was glad I wasn’t a case worker where I actually had to investigate. I was fortunate enough that I could establish a good relationship with the family while making reports and give them as much information as possible. I worked with a large undocumented population so it was always a big deal to

can you cut and paste where I said hitting kids was ok? like verbatim?

What also upsets me about her statements is the tone def approach of putting everyone in jail who has hit their kid. It’s the same tone i hear people like undocumented immigrants as criminals and ‘illegal.’ You can’t paint parents with a broad brush, without understanding family history and cultural context.

Uh, her referring to my parents as child abusers.

wow, did i say whipping? you’ve really escalated my statements haven’t you? Like a spanking is equal to grabbing a switch from a tree and whipping a kid? hitting a 24 month old is on par with a swat on a 5 year olds bottom open handed? whats worse? one time chucking a shoe at a kid or repeatedly telling a depressed

how do you match your clothing in a world that is so black and white?

Thank you, and yes, it is always more complicated than it looks. OMGponies likes to think it terms of black and white.

God, you’re so fucking dumb. Please never go into social work or work with children who are seriously getting abused, or work with communities of color, or talk to anyone ever.
