In my teenage years right up to adulthood ,when I did wrong ,father for which I had total respect for would put the belt to my bottom , I always felt I deserved it ,now later in life I feel there is something missing ,perhaps I still need to be chastised ,I would like to what you think I should do.
@paulo12,
Don't come here to find it.
@paulo12,
When I read this, I think that your father abused you. He hurt you when he should have been caring for you..As a teen you thought this was normal because you had no way to know that what your father did was wrong.
Some people think that spanking a child is acceptable. What your father did was worse... I don't think any sane person would think that beating a teenager with a belt is acceptable. It is cruel.
@paulo12,
Please seek counseling to help you deal with this feeling that pain/ punishment is a way to find attention/ love. Shame is often the root of addiction.
This is causing you discomfort. You don’t have to live like this.
