My old man hit me once. The only time he ever hit me, which made it all the more effective, since it caused me to reassess how I chose to address my mother. I was being a little shit and I thoroughly deserved it.

Yes. I was lighting toilet paper on fire and throwing it into the toilet. I was somewhere around 12. I got my ass beat.

I definitely deserved it. I do believe parents should be allowed to spank their kids. There is a difference between a spank and abuse.

For a second I thought it said "have your parents ever hit on you"

My parents did. Most recent hit was my mother hitting me on the head because I told them I was leaving them. I had mostly psychological abusive parents, and would hit me once in a while.

One day I had enough of it and went to look for at rental places with my boyfriend(I am a girl) and we found one. I was still tied to my parents and hoped they would understand, but they threated to break my legs so I couldn't leave. When I went to leave they started hitting me. My boyfriend was also attacked by my father but thank god he held his temper(he would have kicked the shit out of my father, and I don't want to loose my bf). He asked me if I wanted to leave, I said yes on which he grabbed me and pushed us out of the house.

I have seen my parents only once more, when they waited on me at my work, but I could get away. From what I heard they still call/visit school(I have the email conversation they have with school) and they regulary visit my workplace and make a scene there, but mostly I am at work and they get dragged of by the security.

I am not the first to have this happen in the family, and I am glad they are out of my life. No one of my family has even tried to contact me, because they are all like this.....

Yeah when I was a young lad many years ago. Yeah it was usually justified. I was a prick in the teenage years, but aren't we all?

As the eldest of my siblings, I think it's especially necessary to be taught the lesson of there is always a bigger fish. Know your limits. Don't abuse your power over others.

I think Dad did that well. I feel like a mostly well adjusted individual in that sense.

Yes I was spanked and clipped around the ear when I did something wrong.

Yes, I think parents AND teachers should be allowed to discipline their children and students.

In particular, boys can often require a strong hand to keep them in line.

Dad hit me right in the face with a baseball, taught me to keep the eye on the ball and to keep my mitt up.

Also elbowed me hard I the nose when we were rough-housing, taught me how to treat a bloody nose.
