> Abuse is abuse I know. I was at the receiving end of it. I didn't and still don't find abuse as funny. What is funny is the massive difference in raising kids. Typical American families treat their kids with respect and let them be independent. But here in India, if kids are independent by birth they are beaten badly for "speaking like an adult when it is not your place". I've seen girls and boys who are 20+yrs old and their mothers buy underwears for them!! Isn't it funny? And since you were hit as a child. Tell me, do you remember being beaten for a pointless reason and then you started crying and then your parents kept beating you until you stopped crying?
