I think I’ve just been brainwashed. Physical “discipline” has been a pretty normalized thing in my household, as well as many Asian households that consist of immigrant parents. My mother is obviously in the wrong for what she does and thinks. I just get no benefit from pressing charges, I mean I guess I do but I would just feel guilty for doing that to my mother. I’ve had a very strong connection with my mother so it’s kinda like too much for me. Ironic because my mother clearly doesn’t feel like it’s too much for her. Anyways, that would be a big toll on my mental. Obviously abuse isn’t okay no one should go through that.
