I did more than a few stupid things growing up and my older brother was a real bully to me. When he got married and told his wife some of the things he did to me she was amazed I survived.
One thing we knew was a certain tone in my dad's voice meant we had pushed the envelope as far as possible. He did have a belt and knew how to use it. We were in no way ever abused and I always KNEW that I have a warm bed and food at home an parents that loved me. That is a huge advantage to many kids growing up today. I had no concept of divorced parents until I was about 10, it was just unheard of.
Dad taught us gun safety early. One of the unbreakable rules was don't touch his guns unless he is the one to hand it to us. As we got older the gun safety rules of how to handle a gun were just embedded in us.
They did something right. I have never been arrested, never once had handcuff on me. It is the same for my brother.
