I came across a news article where a Mother literally hit her daughter with a wooden spoon for making a mistake, she was convicted however the reception she got was merely a virtual standing-ovation, people were calling her a great parent and were saying ''we need to hit our kids more'', i was absolutely mortified and felt saddened when i saw the amount of likes those comments had, it was a cesspool of people who were abused as kids who now think abuse is okay and the right way to parent. 

I don't know if it is a BPD thing to literally get triggered by content regarding Child Abuse but i have BPD, and this really triggered me. I caught this story while i was watching a sports show regarding my favorite sport, it was commercial break so i quickly went to check my facebook feed and saw the news story about the incident, i got so triggered i turned my sports program off, and felt sad and angry at the world.

It's not fair how so many people think Abuse is okay, my mother never hit me and i still became a decent human. This topic triggers me as i am a survivor of my Alcoholic Father and his long term psychical abuse of my Mother, i just wanted to vent.

Another thing/argument is that hitting your kids is fine because anecdotally the recipients were brought up to be fine in their own subjective distortion of what is ''fine''. These people are literally the flying monkeys of their own abusive parents.
