I still flinch around my mom, she spanked the shit out of me, and punched me, stabbed me with forks when I didnt mind my table manners, etc... The difference between myself and others is that I can "dress as the Romans" as the situation demands, becuase I have a solid grasp of acceptable vs not acceptable behaviors. Though as with any parent, some things were intolerable, but overall I find that my strict upbringing has helped me overall, however coming from a strict upbringing to a liberal public caused me to run wild once left to my own devices.
