Yeowch, just like mom used to give me. Of course, I'd leave mom's bedroom with well-strapped, purple thighs as well. Those ones hurt so much more than the strokes on my butt.
I totally understand you. I have immense guilt feelings that I think would be relieved if I were made to pay the price. I always felt better after my father did it. I'm 53 now but I remember the mind game he liked to play before the belting. That part was the worst but I felt like the slate was wiped clean afterwards.
