That bitch ex of mine would slap the kids in the face. When I admonished her, she replied "don't tell me how to raise my children".
She was brought up in an extremely abusive household, then proceeded to continue the cycle in ours. And abuse isn't just physical. My 13 year reward was the mental, verbal, and emotional variety.
Discipline is an art of love for grown ups. Abuse is something altogether different. I'm sorry to hear that. Truly.
