i was spanked, and at 16 my father got sick of my mouth and pinned my to the wall by my throat....child abuse?...i think not, i deserved it, and i didnt actually get hurt after all, lack of oxygen is all good

Ummm...lack of oxygen is all BUT good...grabbing someone by their throat regardless of their age is abusive.
Physical abuse creates devious behavior. They sneek behind your back, and lie to your face....I believe a proper remedy for discipline issues, is the reward system..Do something honestly, truthful, positive...reward. Something bad such as lying, cheating stealing etc...privileges begin to disappear.
