love like a sunset

my mom used to give me what we call bolos - its what you say when you slap somebody’s hand with rubber sandals like havaianas - and she’d give me 15 or 30 bolos on each hand accordingly and yeah id get upset bc i was a child but it never was bc of the pain since she wasnt violent like other parents. she never was a mother to beat her children on a regular basis it was pretty much rare (at least for me) and tbh at some point i got used to the pain and it would stop bothering me that much. like i dont wanna take a beating but if she does beat me what can i do? move on i guess lmao. what i find fucked up is the sole fact of a parent raising their hand to smack their own children. its absurd and ugly and ppl should stop trying to make it okay bc its basically violence. i dont get why its only violence when some other adult does it but when your parents do its nothing much and its just ‘a lesson’ like bitch its not?? solve your issues bc u sure as hell have them tf
