Mine too unfortunately. They would also take any sort of slight or perceived slight and punish me for it. Generally with a belt.

Yeah, my dad was a bare knuckle guy. 95% of the time my older sister took the hits to protect us. I took the other 5%. It was tied to his binge drinking and what we suspect was bipolar disorder. Ironically, he didn't believe in corporal punishment. It was just random. My mom was diagnosed with severe borderline personality disorder and malignant narcissism. They were exhausting to take care of growing up. I was lucky, though. Over the years, my friends, their families, and many of my teachers became my family.

I'm sorry to hear that. Ironically as well, I believe my dad felt the same way about corporal punishment. He didn't binge drink thankfully, he was married to his work. I have never once heard him say he is sorry about even the littlest thing, I've never heard him say he's wrong about even the littlest thing, and I have never heard him say there is anything he doesn't know or understand. I am not him.
