[QUOTE="happymomof2, post: 136876, member: 4270"] Huge hugs to you emma - don't be so hard on yourself. You made a mistake by slapping him - and remember you don't know what goes on behind close doors. All those "perfect parents" I am sure have at least yelled at there kids and more than likely hit them as well. We are only human and so are they. When I was growing up my mom made us go out and get our own switches off the bush. She never hit us out of anger - perhaps during the time it took us to go get our switch was the time she calmed down. She would then stripe our legs. We never bled but they sure did whelp up and you know what?? We respected her authority, we were "afraid" to get into trouble because we knew what would happen. My 2 sisters and I are not dysfunctional because of it - we are not on stage with Jerry Springer! I do admit that to this day I have issues with authority figures, I am afraid of them but is that such a bad thing?? I have never been arrested for anything. In this day and time if we were to switch our kids like that we would be under the jail. Sorry your going through all this - your a good mom don't beat yourself up. [/QUOTE]
