Did your parents ever smack you !

Something is really wrong with you. You are on ignore from me.

That ignore thing doesn't work. I tried it and all I do is just read before I log in.

I was never physically disciplined. My mother found that she could get more mileage out of psychological punishments, primary among which was the silent treatment. During such times which usually lasted at least a day, I would not be spoken to or interacted with in any way, as if I had ceased to exist. It really messes with your head to be denied your personhood...

see whereas a smack gets the incident over and done with.

I agree! Just beat the hell out of me and get it over with.
I'm probably anticipating it anyway and suffering from guilt.
Come to think of this thread is making sick.
I didn't realize how bad off I was till now.

No I didn’t. My chiropractor said I could get it operated on or manually manipulated in a very embarrassing way through the anus which would take months of manipulation. I passed on both since the first was a serious operation ( nerve ends etc) and the second option...... not a friggin’ chance. I was 16 years old when it happened.

Just even a 1% chance of having to wear a colostomy bag made my decision for me. No way! I got this by being run over by a bigger dude than me during an ice hockey game. I went straight down on my derrière.

I think you also made the right decision. I will endure the pain, which has improved (lessened) over the years.
