Jealousy, mental problems, regret, anger problems, how they were treated as kids, etc. cherryD Posted at 5:40 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 Quote: from 9 Volt at 9:35 am on Dec. 13, 2008 Quote: from CherryD at 5:33 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 No. Why, is it suppose to explain how I read into this? No, but I believe it would certainly change your opinion on a parent's perspective of "punishment"  Well, some parents just don't have hearts, but, I know I sound ridiculous, some of them really don't know what they are doing is harsh.

It's just, it's different for everyone and their way of "disciplining" their children. ..Have you ever read "A Child Called It?" No. Why, is it suppose to explain how I read into this? xobeautifulgirlox Posted at 5:32 pm on Dec. 12, 2008 Because they probably have been treated bad and abused during their life. That isn't at all an excuse, but that is usually involved. Most recent 15 of 25 previous replies displayed.
