I had a miserable childhood, which is why I'm such a cunt all the time to people I should love.
Both my parents beat me, and my brothers and sisters. I cannot stand physical contact with them. My strongest memory is being hit with a chair for swearing, when I was about 8.

It has taken me thirty years to try and re-programme myself, and I would never have kids in case I followed my upbringing and hit one of them. I trust myself that much.

I think I would describe my life as "difficult".

What was the swear word you used?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 11:56, Reply)

"Bitch" as I recall.
Not sure it warrented a chair over the back though.

I don't know if it statistcally significant,
but my parent's 6 children have produced a total of 3 grandchildren.

I'd have nailed your knees to the floor.
Depends who you called bitch though. All good if it was a labrador called Flossie.

My mum was the recepient of my name calling.
My dad delivered the furniture.

It was all over quite quickly.

That doesn't warrant a chair.

obviously not of course. I can totally understand why you wouldn't want to go near them

Oak dining chair. Very well made,

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 22 Sep 2010, 12:08, Reply)

Good. Wouldn't have wanted the chair to get damaged.

In the corner, with a black drape over it.

Edit: Cheers for the link.

I would have burnt it. I still have a lump on the back of my head from a glass milk bottle - can't get rid of it unfortunately.

I exaggerate, the chair is my computer chair at home.
Jolly comfortable, and helps my posture. It wasn't personally guilty of assult.

You're right
that was a touch heavy-handed.
