some children have been treated wrong
but not because they were spanked, but because of the IMBALANCE in their homes,,
I am sorry your family did not teach and discipline you,
the proof is in the pudding and it obviously had negative emotional impact upon you
myself and others I know who grew up with spankings and had BALANCE in their home have grown up without the negative memory and emotional impact,,,,
,,everyone is different, the biggest difference is the balance, not the spanking,,,
If a parent finds spanking 'easy', I feel for them.
ITs very difficult to see our kids unhappy, whether its because we take something from them, or tell them no, or spank them,,,,,but parenting isn't meant to be easy,,, or everyone would do it,,,
