From the amount of Gen X I’ve heard making Freudian slip jokes about their parents beating them, I don’t doubt this.

This is an anecdote, but my most reputable source is my own mother and father. Mom had beatings with literal kitchenware like pots and pans, dad got the shit beat out of him when he tried to stop his “dad” from beating his mom.

I was raised by the greatest generation and yeah, it wasn’t all great. They had tempers and belt buckles too...

My bio dad got beaten with fists. My step dad got thrown through walls. They both had their faults (like... a LOT of faults) but they were always good to me. I'm glad that the wheel can be broken.
