That's the thing with hitting kids.
They misbehave, you smack them.
They misbehave more, you smack them harder.
What if they don't learn, don't behave?Do you beat the living shit out of them?
It takes a big man to admit their faults, Frank. I wish you luck.
You must be under a lot of pressure as a single parent, and it must be difficult not to lash out at times.Thanks. I usually don't really talk about these things exept when I'm at my weekly AA meeting, but reading all these stories in this thread sort of made me open up I guess! It's actually really liberating.
Anyways, as long as I'm being honest - yes, I really am under a lot of pressure at the moment. And truthfully speaking, the only thing that helps me cope right now are hookers and the will to get my son back. Hopefully I will - wish me luck!

I was never beaten when I was a child - I grew up in a commune near Arcata, California, and as you might expect physical violence was very much frowned upon amongst these people. I used to think they were wrong.
I do have a son of my own who I occasionally beated when he acted out (he's 8 years old). Three months ago it sort of got out of hand though - child services took him away after I snapped and got too violent. The kid started to call me Frank instead of dad about a year ago, which annoyed me, and I told him to call me dad again - he didn't, and I guess I got furious when he called me Frank one too many time.
I'm forced to take anger management classes and also parenting classes now and I learned that violence can never be the answer, no matter how much the kid gets on your nerves. I'm actually also working on getting my son back to my house, but the authorities said that could take several months - with my wife not around anymore and my son somewhere I can't reach him, I really don't know what to do with my time...

you know, when I read my posts now I see how it all may seem like some made-up story. But truth be told - I'm really in a bad place right now. Thing is I really am a person who needs to be around other people, and as I said my son was taken away, and my wife ran off with her dance instructor (I'm not even joking!) four years ago - so I'm pretty much all alone. Don't really have any family, and my buddies from back in the day are pretty much all alcoholics, and since I quitted I can't bear being in contact with them anymore. And I know seeing hookers is actually a bad thing but being with other people really is, as I mentioned, the thing that keeps me going at the moment. Often times I don't even sleep with them - we just talk. And it's liberating, to say the least!
