Warts, razor blades, wooden spoon. Anyone else? Possible trigger warning.
So as a kid I got a crap ton of warts on my feet. I'm talking like 20+. My mom and her friend held me down and used a razor blade to cut them out. Not just cutting off the tops. Like stab in and twist around them to get the "core". After a while of me screaming and begging to stop and go to a doctor I was threatened with being beaten, had a wooden spoon shoved in my mouth, and told it's ok I'm a CNA.
Honestly I feel kinda stupid that this even still effects me or bothers me. On one end it's like ok yeah I needed it taken care of and so they did but as a parent myself now.... WTF I wouldn't dream of it. I know my mother was abusive but unsure if this particular thing was an example of it or just a part of life that sucks.
Curious if anyone else experienced similar. Also just saw an add for a quart removal and then memory came up. Not really interested in asking people in my real life if this was normal lol.
