Ha! This is what my Dad did before he beat the crap out of us...

Then he'd hang the belt on a nail by the door to make sure we could see it...

My dad, God rest his soul, when he was really mad, used to throw me around like a rag doll and then kicked me in the ass when I was down, about 5-6 times. He used to say his dad actually punched him in the face so I shouldn't complain.

On a normal day he would just slap my head repeteadly. It seems he truly didn't want to leave marks on my face, out of pity-love and to avoid trouble with the authorities, most likely.

I'm sorry if this thread suddenly turned sordid.

I'm so sorry. It was hard to read what he did to you.

Not as bad as it sounds. But sometimes doing dumb things as a kid certainly had its risks (angry as hell parents).
