what's so chilling, to me, in all the evangelical parenting manuals i read and the testimony i received from survivors, is the idea in evangelical circles that striking your child in a cool and ritualistic manner is somehow better than doing so in anger. it isn't. it really isn't
My dad would make all three of us line up and watch each other geet their belt, hand, or switch. We had a big wooden pizza peel and he would "joke" about drilling holes in it so we'd hear it whistling before it hit.
And he wonders why I don't really talk to him anymore.
