I'm not sure if there is a better category in which to post this question.
An upload of mine was rejected, because it appeared to violate the rules. Really, the intent of the story just wasn't clear enough. I've been debating with myself as to whether I want to take the time to rewrite the opening or not. It would help to know whether the folks on this site would even want to read it.
While much of the story is based on real events from my childhood, it is completely fictionalized. It would be a total misrepresentation to say it's talking about spanking real children.
The picture I'm trying to paint is of a young guy with an extreme case of Stockholm Syndrome and a bit of an Oedipus complex. He is being abused by his mother, and has convinced himself that physical abuse is a good thing. This is clear and explicit, with this main character narrating in the first person. The Oedipus complex is more subtle, never being addressed directly.
The guy is so screwed up that he chooses to keep taking the abuse as a young adult. His mother acts like she's giving him a choice, says she is willing to stop. She knows damn well he's so beaten down and so cracked in the head that he will let her do whatever she wants; he will agree to literally anything. It's a power thing on her part to get him to say the words that he is accepting it, that he feels he needs it.
The opening chapter, which is what I had uploaded, isn't long enough to thoroughly explore these themes. After setting the scene, it briefly describes a couple of childhood spankings.
The overall story is intended to have the feel of a real blog, we follow the unfortunate fellow's misadventures as he gets older. We see how he has a promising future, but is so damaged by his mother that he ends up pissing away his potential.
