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.
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.
