Message of Hope
If you are an adult who was hit at any time in your childhood - recognize that they believed they were doing so out of love and a desire for you to ‘learn’. They did not realize they were teaching you to believe that you deserve violence committed on your body. They did not realize they were teaching you to consider hitting another person as an act of love (they may have even said, ‘I hit you because I love you’). Forgive them their acquiescence to a cultural error. Forgive your parents. If you hit your kids, stop it. Explain to them that you will no longer assault their bodies. Know that they have come to experience the violence you commit on them as the most immediate and intense form of your love. They will indeed, ‘Ask for it’ with behavior that has resulted in violent attention previously because you have set that up. It will not be easy - just as it is not easy for adults who were hit to recognize the violence as an error..
