I'm so sorry you had to go through that. 1" diameter? That sounds like fraternity hazing or street violence! Maybe I should be calling what my mother used twigs. I don't think they were larger than 1/4" diameter.

sometimes the thinner ones(switches as they are called in some communities) hurt more because of flexibility. dont lessen what you went throuh dear. abuse is abuse. just related what i went through so you know you are not alone.....
