Reminds me of how I was eager to move out of my home at 13, because I was certain I was an adopted child (I look exactly like my mother), and no mother would whoop their biological child the way mine did to me.

Now an adult, I am grateful for how my mom held me down with every ass whooping. I'm I traumatized? I doubt it, but I pray to use a different parenting style on my kids even though I know I'll also have to be a villain sometimes
