I've also come from an abusive background and although at the time what was happening damaged me..now it's good and I can also see why my father done that to me and how I actually deserved most of it.
I think I will be open minded about smacking, with some children its wrong cause they're anxious etc.. like with my sister my dad just had to look slightly cross and she would cry. But I would laugh and laugh and laugh until I was black and blue (again I'd laugh cause I was anxious) Aslong as its in control..like a smack on the back of the leg/back of hand/bum done with a hand and it wouldn't go any further then thats ok, its when smacking goes to abuse that its wrong and damaging. Also i think they're needs to be a very very good reason to do that to a child.
