[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660125, member: 1550"] Lil, beating him would not have made him different. Well, it may have made him worse and probably he would have left home on his own as soon as he could and possibly turned to crime or drugs. He hasn't done that. Beating, even spanking, doesn't make a child a better adult. I did not discipline enough either, but, if I had, I would have used more mainstream tactics and would never have thought that beating my kid would have made it better. Don't think like that. And, trust me, two of my kids were EXTREMELY difficult teens and Bart was a difficult child. We used time outs. Sonic was very hard when we first got him due to his autism, but we didn't hit any of them. Lil, no, your not using corporal punishment is not why he is like this. Suzir, sharing your story was extremely brave and I commend how you saw your wrongs and made them right. You are human, as we all are, and nobody writes manuals on how to parent difficult children. The love you have for both of your children shines through in your posts and I'm sure ache is secure in your love of him. [/QUOTE]
