I haven’t thought about these things for years but I recently remembered them. When I was very young, maybe 4/5, I had a habit of biting other children. When my mum found out, she bit me so hard I never did it again. Another time when I was a bit older, maybe 7? My mum was ironing and I kept pretending to touch the iron (I thought I was hilarious) and my mum got really angry and burnt me with the iron on my arm. I had a triangle shaped burn and scar for a while after that. I remember my mum panicking after that and I’m sure she told me cover it up with some excuse if anyone saw it. Also, throughout my childhood and adolescence, my mum and I would play fight but sometimes she’d take it too far (sometimes I would too, though it was never malicious). Anyway, around the same age of about 7, she got really angry and grabbed my leg and pulled it up so that I lost balance. I fell so hard onto my arse that I couldn’t stand up. I started crying from the pain and she just laughed and laughed. Anyway, I ended up having to go to hospital and it was a bruised coxis. 

I don’t know if stuff like this is normal. I brought up the biting with my mum and said “well, you never bit anyone again” which is true. I spoke to her about the iron thing and she said it was only a joke. We spoke about the play fighting and just laughed, so maybe that was just a case of it going too far. I don’t know. I’m really confused and would appreciate your guys opinion.
