I remember my grandmother would tell us kids when we misbehaved that she would, and I quote, 'take us out to the barn and skin us alive!' Imagine how many trigger sessions of therapy that would take if the new gens of today heard this.
i think the answer is "i didn't ever recover but i prefer to pretend i did so i can feel smug about it because that's easier than processing and dealing with it in a productive way."
I don't think growing up to be OK with threats of horrific violence against children is healthy. Like... at all... like that's some serial killer shit.
