Lol, I wasn't beaten up, I was spanked. Never even left a bruise, but a hurtin that taught me to not do it again. Sometimes kids need spankins IMO.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gone to the therapy sessions unless you knocked me out, hog tied me, and strapped me to the chair....

I don't really like doing things against my will!

Nothing against your method McKinsey, but I tell you this, a very strict upbringing with quick and harsh punishment did me more good than I can say. There was no reasoning with me. None at all.... I was a very strong willed kid.

Still have some of that left today.
