wax says that she was always withdrawn. her family weren't violent, but her parents did believe in spanking, i think.

my mother's father was quite violent. she thinks spanking is horribly wrong, but as a result of his abuse is somewhat neurotic, and loses her temper, turns red, slams things and waves about sometimes. i think three times in my whole life she's been angry enough to smack me in the heat of the moment, never hard enough to hurt at all, more like a sharp pat. but the psychological hurt was great. the shock! :)
