Do you think you would have turned into an ignorant, arrogant, bad-mannered person if you
hadn't been routinely mugged by your parents? That it's
their physical abuse that made you a good person?
I only ask because my dad's way of dealing with a situation which wasn't going according to his plan was to beat the child involved (I was one of four). My son has never been struck in his life, and he's a far better person now than I was at his age.
