Wow, having been bruised up a couple of times from being "spanked", I can really feel for you. How did you feel about his father after he did that to you? I don't think I would want to be around a friend's parent that hurt me like that. I have been spanked by the parents of a couple of my friends, but never hard enough to leave bruises. They always treated me like I was one of their own. If one of them had ever really hurt me, it probably would have affected my friendship.

As far as your feelings about the school you went to goes, I was so fortunate to go to schools that were literally in walking distance and was home every night. I don't think I could have handled a boarding school or convent environment. I honestly would have been a runaway or would have found reasons to get kicked out rather than being sent away for school. I'm not judging you or your family. But that's just a step more than I could have taken. I guess that's one of the things, that kept me from wanting to go away to College. I never had any desire to do it. I had briefly thought about teaching, but the local Community College would only get me so far towards my degree, and honestly I didn't want to leave home. While some may think, I didn't pursue my dreams or whatever they might feel, I'm living my best life being a wife and mother right here in the same town I grew up in. My husband makes good money with his job and I love being a stay at home Momma.

I know I was really afraid of my former Assistant Principal after he had paddled me so bad and the punishments I got from my Granny made me really afraid of her. After the last time, It was a long time before I wanted anything to do with her. I loved her because she is my Granny, but I would be polite to her, that was it. Even now, I still feel very uneasy around her. I will take the kids to go visit her, but I don't trust her enough to even leave them in the room alone with her even though she has mellowed out a little bit over time. Being a Christian and her being family, I can forgive her for what she did to me, but I can never forget it. My oldest asked me one time privately after we went to visit her, "Momma, does Great Granny scare you? I asked him why and he said, "I don't know, but sometimes when she seems a little moody, it looks like you're a little bit afraid of her." I didn't want to lie to him, but at the same time I didn't want to share details with him. So I told him, "Your Great Granny and I had some problems with I was a little girl, but that was a long time ago. It's ok now. But sometimes I still feel a little uneasy when I'm with her. But I promise it'll be ok." He hugged me and I kissed him on the head and he went to bed, and I went out on the patio and cried. Sometimes it's the wounds you can't see that hurt the most.
