I probably get beaten about 3-5 times a year by my father when he's really upset over my beahavior or something i've done. Im a 16 Year old female if this makes a difference. When he beats me though, they are heavy duty. He uses things like a hanger, broomstick, sometimes cords.And thet often leave temporary bruises and sting. The last time he did this was when i was on the phone at 2 in the morning, does this justify his acts? I think its normal though, because i have been getting beats my whole life. My mother more often like a few times a month but less severe.
