"The fallacy of your thinking is that "your way is the only way" - since it didn't affect you positively, it cannot affect anyone positively. "
Nope never said my way was the only way. You did. And the term "abuse" is fairly broad. To some even talking sternly to someone is considered "abuse". I thought it odd that you phrased it as "physical violence". I mean if an adult slapped another adult, it would be considered violence and battery. You could get arrested for it.
I guess then, there would be no difference if you or a spouse's stepfather spanked them. I wouldn't want anyone to lay a hand on my kids, especially me.
Personally I've never heard anyone say they were happy to be spanked as a kid.
