Jesus, some of the things I'm reading here, and hear about elsewhere, I just can't get my head around how someone could inflict that kind of suffering on someone else. It's weired, because my parents never hit me, but people who are abusive to kids/spouses really really bother me, to the very core. I think if I saw somebody hitting their girlfriend or kid I'd just totally lose it and attack them, but maybe that's because of the harsh bullying I went through as a kid.
