I used to get hit as a child and now I do it to and I need help to stop
When I(21f) was a kid my mom used to hit us when we did something bad. It wasn't severe, more like slaps or using the belt and she once used a plate of glass to hit me. What would make her do it was primarily us not cleaning the house, she'd come home really tired to find me and my sister (8/10 years old) in a whole mess and she would hit us, and she would hit me when I got math problems wrong
Well she eventually stopped by the time I reached teenage but after I finished high school I started to hit myself now that I fell behind in college. Again, no really strong but I do and then I start crying and I don't even know why I do it, it is just a first response I have when I disappoint myself. What can I do to stop?
