My dad literally hits me and punishes me by starving me. However, my friend says he’s “just trying to shape me into the perfect young man” and that he “truly loves me”. This almost makes me think she’s either my dad in secret or dating my dad.
In all seriousness, what do I do? Stop talking to her? Talk to her? Be her friend despite it?
he needs to understand why his actions are wrong. punishing him isn’t teaching.
Surely his son’s resentment should serve that purpose.
But in lieu of that, sure. However, I’m also of the opinion that teaching someone like this anything is second priority to just getting them to stop doing the bad thing.
of course, stop it. but what good is a jail sentence or fine going to do?
