Unfortunately it was "normal" back then. I know a woman whos father used to beat her with a belt. Looking at him now you would never know.... loving doting grandad that put all his children through college and bought their first homes. Its wild. Makes me feel ill to think what some generations had to endure. Thankfully most of us have broken the cycle.

My mother used to beat us pretty badly. But she's now a very lonely woman with no family around her.
Both my mother & stepdad beat me & my siblings senseless. It took me a very long time to separate my love for my parents & to understand the abuse I went through wasn't my fault or wasn't out of love or care.

I had similar even down the the step father. I'm sorry you went through that, it's frightening how common it used to be 😔

I have to agree with @HereForTea, I come from an era where smacking was acceptable, even in public. Thankfully I don't remember being smacked, or my siblings and I don't think it ever happened, I remember taps on the hand when we put our hands near the oven and things like that, but not actual harm but I do remember friends speaking about it. My Nan had a scar on her leg, her Dad often hit her with a belt, but she would never, ever say a bad word about him. Times change, people change, I'm against smacking but I also know it did happen years ago and it shouldn't have done.
