I read it. While I don’t think yelling is a good idea, because you lose control and often say things you don’t mean and get on the kids level, I don’t condider it abuse. As for slapping, I’m old school. If one of mine had cursed me I would have popped them in the mouth, no questions asked.
I think there is a difference between slapping and physical abuse. They had sworn testimony from two mental health professionals there was both verbal and physical abuse by the mother.
