I grew up in the 80s and early 90s along with my one year old brother, being raised by a single father. Our mother wasn't mentally well and ended up leaving us when I was around 9 years old. My dad stayed strong in raising us alone but did turn to the bottle a bit. I would not call him an alcoholic but he was far from being a light drinker. He raised us fairly strict but he loved and cared about us. If we got in trouble or somehow embarrassed him he let his belt do he correcting.

Looking back my dad probably was walking a fine between abuse and just a severe whipping. I remember once threatening to dump his alcohol down the drain and he told me if I ever touch it he would whip me till I bleed.

That's unfortunate, it was a different time back then, and with the added stress of being a single father it most likely took a toll on him.

I will admit there were times my brother and I didn't feel loved by the man. In truth though he did love us. He feared we would end up like our mother with mental health issues and I think he believed that basically keeping us under his control would somehow stop a mental illness from happening. He also wanted others to see him as no nonsense and strict and I feel that was because he didn't want people to think he was in over his head. God forbid the school or someone called him at work and came to talk to him about our behavior because that meant you were going to get it bad.

BB you are right about the stress of single parenting. Still, spanking and drinking are just like driving and drinking -- a very bad combination!

Welcome Kelsey. The belt is one of my fav implements to give. I am sure that it will become one of yours also.
Great to see that some young ladies are still getting thier backsides worn out.
