"Mr. Spock" is from Star Trek. He really has nothing to do with parenting issues as far as I know. Dr. Spock is the guy you want to go after.

I was beaten and I wanted to kill my mother for it. I still hate her for it. It made me vengeful and angry for a long time, and caused me to be sneaky- because I was very afraid of her. I wouldn't tell her the truth even when the truth wouldn't get me in trouble. Lying became my natural state- a protective mechanism. I am not the only person I know who was beaten and still hates the parent who did it. The feeling of fear- just to hear her stomping around the house, wondering what she was going to beat me with, etc. etc Oh yeah, I am sure some people beat their children responsibly, but most do it out of anger- and that kind of anger can get out of control and do real physical damage. I had my shoulder dislocated, my fingers slammed in a car door and broken- I sure wish someone had intervened.
