Cycle Breaker
(TRIGGER WARNING: NO child should be treated this way! Those who defend abuse are abusers themselves. Yes I know other races do this to their kids but it's mostly in the black community.) It's NOT okay to wack your child with an object. You're only causing them pain. Whooping/spanking is abuse, the scars and trauma will remain. Hurting children with belts, sticks etc is wrong! Why can't y'all see?! I've called out the dysfunctions in my family and they turned against me. People who hit their children only do so because they were treated that way when they was a child. Y'all want them to suffer like you did, and to me that's wild. As a cycle breaker, breaking generational trauma to me is that deep. It took me til my adulthood to realize I was the family's scapegoat and the black sheep. African Americans get mad at a child for defending themselves. They say it's talking back. They'll verbally abuse you and then tell you, "if you don't stop you'll get smacked." Most people say they turn out okay, but they're just in denial. You're not okay so why even fake a smile? This world is evil and I swear I can't take it. Why repeat the cycle of trauma? When instead you can just break it.
