My mother was fat and would hit as a kid over little things.  I only know one other kid who was also hit like me; he also had a fat mom.    Also I never mention the abuse to my father until I got older because I was ashamed. The media always shows men cheating behind a fat wife's back, but never a fat wife hitting their children behind a husband's back. This always pisses me. And no, my father never cheated on my mom.
