I guess it figures that my experiences with an iron-fisted homeschooling harridan would be in no way unique, aside from the physical abuse stuff being a lot more widely accepted 20+ years ago.
Most parents that are part of the christian right still view physical abuse as their god-given right and even a moral responsibility. "My parents hurt me and I turned out okay so it's fine" logic.
Hey, was your mom my guitar teacher, and do you have an older brother that she used to beat the shit out of with a riding crop?
My mom is part of a much larger movement of equally shitty people. She was "moderate" compared to some of the people I met.
Riding crops were never used, the abuse was mostly psychological.
