I love my dad, but I can only really think about the time he slammed my head through a wall when I was a teenager. I don't even remember what I did that pissed him off enough to do it. It's the only time he ever laid hands on me.

I'm pretty sure most parents have moments where we want to slap the shit out of our teenagers. I've never done it but I've certainly been tempted a few times.

I remember one time I was upset with my mom about something. I think I called her a bitch to her face. She whipped around, scowled, and punched me square in the face. It didn't even hurt that bad. It just caught me off guard because it was way out of character for her. She was normally the cool, laid-back parent. Right or wrong, she made her point. That was the first and last time I ever said anything like that to her.
