And my mom shook me. It's truly terrifying because you can't do anything to tense up, It's out of control movement that bc of momentum you're going backwards and then snap forward, back of your skull hits your brain as it's being yanked back up it hurts so bad.
I was scared of ALL people until I was 25 years old because I thought they would hurt me. and slowly it dawned on me that everybody isn't going to hit me if I make them angry.
But almost as damaging is when she told me she was going unadopt me because I lied cuz I was scared of her. I'm 52 years old
And just last year I realized, " wait she punished me for lying, by lying to me?!"
Tell you one thing though: I broke the cycle and I didn't teach my kid to deal with what bothers them through physical aggression.

What about, " you better stop that crying or I'll give you something to cry about!" After she just did and that's why you're crying? Anybody else?
