Hi Blueberry,
I'm glad you wrote this in this older thread, I found it really helpful to read.  I relate to the horrible effects of such punishment and the blending with CSA as well - I suffered such a blending too.

I really liked how your grandmother was able to repair things in the way she did, in relation to the other incident you mentioned of when you'd said something rude (in her eyes).

Hope

Just copying your post here.

Thank you for your words, kindness and validation.

I'm sorry you can relate as well, but I'm not taken totally by surprise due to some things you have written before on CSA.

I once found a website that was very anti this type of punishment, and bolstered that with a lot of facts. I won't repeat any of it, but there was one particular fact that worked as an explanation of why a child might sense CSA was mixed up with it, the way I sensed it.

I guess I added that about my grandmother because that was totally different from anything my parents ever managed. And I played a role in the repair too, though I'd never been taught to by example in FOO.
