if I ever gave "back chat", I would be given a "back-hander" straight into the gob, because....... - it hurts more!. Unfortunately, the pain of my childhood has never left me. I always tell my children, please, tell your kids you love them, everyday, as you don't know how long God has given them to you.

anneasquith, but it makes me so sad that it has to be this way.

I’m pleased you came back. I loved the second part of your post.
I’m sorry you had a bad experience as a child .

It has triggered a stream of tears, but I can't share .... and that should tell you all you need to know......

[anneasquith]

I’m sorry if I made you sad, I’d never intentionally do that . Take care .

My mother was a lovely doting person, her children always had her support, no matter what.
It was my father that gave a psychology lesson when we did something dumb.

I don't recall any serious criticism from my parents & was never hit. Guess I was lucky.
