Most people have never come anywhere close to being beat sufficiently to have a bone broken. I guarantee you words come nothing close to that experience.
Being beat to that extent can cause both physical and emotional pain for life.
Not dismissing physical abuse at all. That’s not a stick, nor a stone. I’ve had numerous bones broken. Some because of me. Some because of others. Some from my parents. One from my child (technically my fault).
Both forms of abuse hurt. When the abuse goes on for a long time it feels like it takes 10x as long to heal.
Being beat to that extent can cause both physical and emotional pain for life.
