My Mom raised me. She could swing a mean leather belt. The last time she did this I was in high school. Way to old for this. Also it was because a field boss lied to her and said I called her a bit*h when I didn't. And I had another field boss younger guy was going to call my that night to look at a guitar I had and I asked him to talk to my mom. He told he truth and she never hit me again. Truthfully though She was a good Mom and had to raise us all alone and I was a troubled kid to boot.
