Did you get alot of s as a child? Did it make you a better person?

In the 1970s and 1980s my met my dad's belt quite often. Sometimes it was with the hairbrush. My backside had a difficult childhood! Do not get me wrong. I loved my dad. He was very good to me in many ways. Still, I hate what my bottom went through. I doubt that it made me a better person. Still, I would like to see what others have to say about this and keep an open mind.
