I appreciate the time you take to help me see the complexity on the periphery not always visible head on.

It's true, the times were different, and spanking was the norm, even the nuns were allowed to spank with wooden paddles in front of the classroom at my school. Total humiliation for the child.

I had to work this out in my writing to lend credence to her side of the story, however misguided and it has helped tremendously.

Turning the ancestral tide? I'm humbled and grateful for the ultimate reward. 🤗

Thank you, my friend. 💖💖💖
