Hell Hole! xx

My daughter recently told me that her sister referred to our home as a hell hole. I was very offended, as that was my family and home. But yet i have to be honest and say yes we were beat. Maybe i should have protected my children and got out sooner but i wanted them to have a father. I was a battered wife . The kids got spankings. That was decades ago. Times have changed and so has parenting. I remember when our oldest became a tween my husband said she is too big to spank any more. I learned to live with him by doing what he said. When he said sit down and shut up i did. It was survival. I gave my kids a great life filled with love and special birthdays. But i have to say im sorry now for the violence! xx
