I was never told not to cry
But I don’t know how my mother would hear my screams.. and tears! she would pull my hair and drag me hard , hit me with rope or cold heavy slaps in my body ( they deny heavy / cold ) that’s how I describe it lol I was young so it felt like that. It lasted for many years. I remember it started at 5 gory memories until teenager. I would have a runny nose and tears mixed together running though my shirt 😂 so maybe it would been better I was told not to cry. After crying and go to my bed I would feel in peace it felt like heaven my soul was finally resting. I never really enjoyed school I was always lost and uninterested to study.
And This abuse was only for school related I wasn’t a good students getting good grades. I was let’s say a C student with my country grades. But I was a very very good girl all teachers used to say you are such a kind child and innocent. my friends always say I’m an empathy and very understanding and sweetest file they met 😅
I gotta say I live with my mom and brother I have ofc forgiven my mother. It’s been mentally hard though I never went to a psychologist or anything I have dealt with it myself. Side effects I have seen is that I’m scared to say my opinion what I want to do with my life I fear I’m a loser or that I don’t satisfy others. Especially my family. And also I have dated any guy yet or been in a relationship. I’m 30 and that’s bc I haven’t truly been ready. Also my father passed away when I was 25 after 25 until 30 days flew away like water. It was me my myself living each day for 5 years like that..
I’m taking with a guy but to be with him I have to leave my things her and stand against my family but it scares me. Also I can see guys get bored easily with me. Long story. I created a fake life due to my suppressed emotions to skip reality and now im stuck with that fake reality ! Currently trying to fix it 😅
I wish young mothers change and try to be better mothers. Also if you abuse kids In any shape or form I wish you when you die your spirit is stuck somewhere in darkness and you wish you at least at least … enter hell soon.
What hurts me the most in this world is hearing kids cry. When I go to hospital or hear a baby child cry I cry too! I can’t help it.. it’s funny lol
Did you parents make you not cry?
This is heartbreaking. And yes i was told not to cry
I don’t have a good relationship with my mom because she always yelled and then made me suppress my feelings. Which led to me feeling very angry and depressed because I did that with everyone. I went to therapy Now I say how I feel to her and she flips out but she’s going to hear my side or I’ll walk away.
Glad you stand your ground
I got spanked a couple of times only... when I was kinder age, and it was because I earned it lmao, I really pushed the limits and tested their patience and then... I just didn't do it again, I grew up
I didn't cry from the spanking, I laughed like crazy while running around... and so did my parents
I know this is a sensitive subject for many, but it's also about cultures, I was never hit with malice nor with excessive force, and I got yelled as well, many times... but it was never in an intimidating way, anyway...
the few times I cried, I was a very young kid, and I did it to try to get my way, so it was more like pouting or throwing a tantrum and my parents never felt for it... lol
and If I overplayed that card, my mother would just say "keep doing that and I'll give you reason to really cry" lol, and then I stopped...
Your parents laughed while you laughed? Lmao
yes, because I was running around all over the place while they were going to spank me... and since they held me by one arm, I was going around like Tarzan, which was funny
🤣🤣🤣
Like the gifs above
lmao... that's right
I never understood that logic. You crying! SMAAAACK 💢🖐️, Stop crying. WHAT? I crossed the line once and my dads hand and pushed him away, i was out all night and blah blah punishment, whatever. So he had an honory cane from his military service, he used for hitting me with at younger age, i troed to reason with him because making me fear him didn't work anymore. So once i took the cane and hit him with it on his leg just to show him how idiotic this whole shit is. That was the last time he hit me, i was 14. I took the cane and broke it infront of him. Till today, he never apologized
Im glad you hit him with it 😂 im not brave enough to hit my mom with that but still lmao
It's not bravery. This whole ass whoppin shit is idiotic in the first place. It's like when you get bullied in school, we all know the kids that bullies are mentally broken because of theor parents. Cut that shit and talk reason instead

My late mom beat my ass and she used
anything in her hands and even pull my shirt
and smacked me on the back, My dad was always
a miserable and still is at age 80 but he made my
mom like him they divorced in 1994 they were only
married 30 years, my mom was taken to the Hospital
and passed away on Nov 10, 2003, it was only 9 days
she was in Jefferson Hospital and Allegheny General
and the Nursing home, when I went over to see her
on Thursday at the nursing home, her skin looked like
she had makeup on it and she passed away on Monday
I hate she mistreated you but im also sorry she passed away so soon
@DizzyDesii Yeah, I wonder about a lot of things and thanks for your kindness
No; my parents always tried to avoid resorting to spanking- and usually succeeded.
But any parent who hit me and then told me not to cry is a parent who'd be finding their dinner spiced pepper spray and told THE SAME DAMN THING. I have very little patience for bullying.
Lmao you'd pepper spray them?
No, no- too straightforward. I'd pepper spray their food, before they ate it. Civilian grade pepper spray is typically about 2 million Scoville units; by contrast, Red Savina Habeneros are 577,000. ("Habenero", by the way, is Spanish for "don't eat this, you masochistic fool").
Haha
No I wasn't told to not cry after getting spanked. I don't remember if my parents ever spanked me but I do remember one of my aunts spanked me once. I know I deserved it because I was being a naughty girl.
Luckyz Being told not to cry is the worse.
My father used to beat me nearly all the time, but my mom just spanked me once but she would always yell at me and crying was always something that I wasn't allowed to do... I always cried in secret
I just dont get it. Its sad
Yeah it is. My mom used to think that crying is a sign of weakness and so she didn't liked when I cried... but she has changed and does see it differently now
How did your father beat you? :(
All the damn time. I was NOT allowed to cry, flinch, or show any emotion whatsoever. If I did, they would hit me more times and make it progressively harder each time. I quickly learned to never show my emotions. Now my therapist is encouraging me to show emotions and have a facial expression... frankly it's terrifying. Any time I smile or frown I wait for the fist.
This is heartbreaking to hear
Sorry, I got a little carried away there... thanks for coming to my Ted Talk I guess lol
I don't cry when hit, I hit back, I do not tolerate violence as a means to ensure cooperation. Instead, it ensures they will get nothing but a big ol go fuck yourself.
But if they are kind, sweet, and polite, instead of demanding, rude and violent, then I go out of my way to be helpful.
That’s terrible and stupid. A punishment is supposed to make your children to think about what they did wrong. They’re not going to do that nearly as well if they do nothing but suck it up and act like the punishment never happened. Parents that say that aren’t thinking about their children’s best interests, but simply being immature about being irritated by the sound of crying. Maybe that irritation is the parent’s punishment for not doing their job, am I right?
you're right
Haven't been said that but I have seen it happening and it was really heart breakening. That kid got it bad when he cried. Which kind of treatment it is? I don't get it how parents can be so cruel.
I dont get it either
I definitely know I will not be applying this logic if I ever had kids of my own.
@FinalFantasyBro of course me too
👍🏾
My dad would use a switch. Dipped I'm water so it'd sting more.
Was bitch slapped once
Spanked I guess you could say, yelled at.
But more than anything was the over protection. They did the best they could and I don't disagree with their methods when it was deserved and I definitely deserved more than I got at times.
But did they tell you not to cry?
Often like in my entire life my parents as specially my dad always like that. He would yell t me when i'm crying even if I cry for no reason he would yell for me to stop cry or els I will get slap on the face
Omg no!
Yes all the time my parents are strict and old ways. That's why I was spanked a lot but was also told not to cry.
It just made no sense smh
It happened to me a few times when I was a kid , I was spanked and yelled at and then if I even as slightly as sob , my mom used to say "you better not cry or I'll spank you even more" ... As much as I hated being hit , I miss those days tbh. No pressure , stress-free life. Watch Cartoons , play with Friends all day and sleep for hours
Lmao i dont miss those spanking days but cartoons yes
Sorta sexually molested then told not to tell. What you described is serious traumatic abuse. Evil and control. Requires deep healing esp if done young. What a fd up world.
I was hardly hit so it didn't traumatize me. But damn your situation is way worse
not sure which is worse, some of it is how it is translated. these things subtly jack with ones development, sense of right and wrong... impacts down stream one may not be conscious of. This is a very damaged world.
And this is just one aspect of human damage. maybe we should all be more understanding and forgiving given the the emotional mess.
I hated getting spanked as a kid but now I love it 😆
Lmao smdh
Naw, i only received one spanking growing up, and it was by my grandmomma.
My pops was all kinds of heated. Nobody spanks his babygirl🥰
Wow lucky
Lmao, i know if it was up to my momma spanking would be on the table, but not my pops.
But tbh, i rarely gave them any reason to punish me.
I was a really good kid.
I was too afraid to disappoint them.
I remember doing something bad and seeing how disappointed my parents were in me, and I cried so hard, it devastated me.
I remember thinking this is something i never wanna experience again.
yes, if in public and if i was loud when crying. i learned just to deal with it and if i was going to then i held it in until i go do it in private
Im sorry to hear that :(
its whatever 🤷♀️
Yes but I always did when spanked more for crying I cry more when asked why I defied them so much I said you punish me with lectures and spanking I punish you with crying and bawling.
😂😂😂
I was pretty stubborn and never liked being told what to do. As a result, I was spanked a lot, but I was never told not to cry.
Yea that's the scary part
I've been yelled at and mocked for crying, but not that
Dang I don't know which is worse
I never have been slapped or spanked as a kid. I was a pretty spoiled girl. 😬
I was spoiled too but i got whipped once ina while
Spreading her business to my friends or Annoying my little sis
Yep lmao
I never cried when getting spanked. As to what you said about not feeling a spanking at age 10.. yeah, that's cause a woman was spanking you.
My mom is heavy handed. Shiiit I don't know what you talkin bout. I felt it all the times before that
I have been spanked or hit a few times in my life by my day. But then I got taller than him. So it stopped.
But did you cry lol
A little sometimes yeah. But others I was scared as shit.
I’d cuss em out in the mirror when i went into the bathroom 🤣
LOL.
Lmfaooooo no but a kid in church would get his ass beat on a regular then his mom would say I'd you cry imma pop ya in ya mouf. 🤣 it made like zero sense. She'd beat him then say don't cry.
Yep that sucks. My mom popped me in my mouth. Now a days i’d be tempted to pop back
Yeah I got spanked when I was little. My mom used to use a wooden spoon on me. She hit me 4 times then sent me to my room. She never told me not to cry because I never did
Damn u never cried
Yup my whole childhood. And if I didn't stop crying, I got another round of being spanked or hit. I learned real quick that "men don't cry" and I did me no justice. I will never do that to a child it's damaging!
Very damaging. Im sorry you went through that
Yup. my father used to locked me up in a dark room too.
Holy smokes
Nope, I honestly think my mother enjoyed the tears...
Thats very sad
Lol my grandma used to always do that then tell me she will give me something to cry for like she didn’t already do it
Lmao
I remember my waiting for my dad to spank me freaking out and then when he did thinking... that didn't hurt, that was a joke! haha. I was probably 10 or something too
Same with my grandpa. He spanked me and i thought a feather landed on me. I laughed in his face
ha! you laughed at him. lol. I just kept it to myself. I definitely didn't want my dad upping the spanking power!
He got so mad. He really thought he did something
It was more about the gender differences that it was used against for who could cry, and who couldn't that was the problem from one of my parents.
Damn
Probably. I don't remember it but that was back when parents could do that lol
They still can
Its a little frowned upon these days lol
They can get their ass beat too then lmao
Yup, had to hold my hand out to be hit with the wooden spoon :(
Did they tell you not to cry
Yes, no crying, no tea and I had to stay in the living room until bedtime. (Except at my nan's, then it would be my bedroom as had no entertainment there).
Not the teeeeea 😭
Tea, supper, dinner, evening meal, all synonyms for the same thing (approximately... technically slightly different but who cares?)
I don't mean a cup of tea, I may be British but I don't touch the stuff... nor coffee... wait, what's that strange look your giving me?
Thats messed up that they didn't even let u eat
Oh, meal time was sacred, we always sat down as a family, had to clear our plates and weren't allowed to leave the table until everyone finished (unless I didn't eat everything, then the others could leave and I had to finish on my own). Even had to eat all the sprouts before I could have desert.
The only this we didn't get was our mouths washed out with soap, although this was threatened for any minor language slip or answering back.
There’s worse things for sure than being told you better not cry trust me
Not at all, really. My parents have been pretty good.
Damn they really were
Oh hell yes and if I did it only got worse. I got use to it getting worse 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao when u try not to cry
Beat and told that all the time. That and I'll give you something to cry about.
And them hoes wonder why they dont get Christmas presents now a days 🤣
Mine dont lmao
Honestly yes I hated it and it done way more negative than a positive.
No, but I was spanked once and really hard. But I had It coming.
nope, i was allowed to cry as much as i wanted, such freedom
@lilyisready
were u spanked often? do u like it?
@rebeliouse dude she is 14. Gtfo my post with this shit
I got belted when I was a kid slapped in the face things like that
Thats heartbreaking
Private message me as to why that’s heartbreaking
Yes or if I did cry I was always told "I'll give you something to cry about"
Yea its sad
'ell I got spanked for crying because my stepdad's an @$$hole, well he's not as bad anymore, but I still don't like him.
Like i just dont get why they’d spank is for crying
Prob makes them realize the wrong doing 😂
No I don't think so I think if I cry when I was little if I got spanked it was punishment enough.
Yea it just made me cold hearted
Damn
Yes, If I cried I got it worse.
Its crazy
Yep. I think that is common.
Its sad
It is.
My sister was spanked. I was not.
No but I was beat for years by my dad.
Thats even worse. I hate that happened to you
No never
Lucky
Standard fare in my country when I was a kid...
Did you cry?
Plenty of times
Yup!! Like a spanking is not suppose to hurt. Lol
Lmao and the thing is, i learned from my spankings. I wouldn't put that pain on my child after knowing what it feels like. Yet our parents knew the pain and still did it to us
I’d spank their butt but im not using belts and weapons
God, yes! My mother was wicked, with big hands.
Just spanked.
So they allowed you to cry? Thats nice
Yes i have
Sucks
No haha
Sucks
