I'm 33. Mine still insist they were justified in hitting me until I cried. She says that's the point of "spanking," and I guess she and the rest of the family think they can get away with abuse if they give it a cute name. They also act as though I deserved and still deserve it.
It was spread like a virus on purpose. Churches were the original data collection, and our parents paid for the privilege. This abuse is generational and has been normalized for centuries.
Millions are still suffering, and people are still looking the other way.
