Thank you for your answer. I agree I cannot go against my dad and in a way, corporal punishment made me a better person. When I have moments when I am proud of my looks or results in school and feel "superior", corporal punishment quickly makes me humble again, which I want to be. On the other hand, being punished this way when I am, let's say 24, seems a little unsusual. I will open this issue with my father again later.
