Ah yes, I remember.
"They'll be here any minute, hurry up and clean yourself up so it doesn't look like you were crying or you'll get your ass busted again"
While swatting the wire coat hanger in her hand that she had just used to viscously beat my ass with because I got grass stains on my jeans before the family Easter dinner.
Those are memories alright.

Man I feel sorry for everyone that’s been abused. Our generation at least won’t be beating their kids

I'm not having kids, it's the only way I can be sure the cycle will be broken.
Besides it feels cruel to bring life into this world when we're on the verge of a climate catastrophe that will almost certainly result in war on a scale we've never seen before in the next few decades when any children born today will be prime drafting age.

This is why my husband and I plan to abopt. We don't want to bring a child onto this world, but we can sure help a child that's already here!
