Amen to EVERYTHING you said! It was abuse. Parents and other guardians who do this to people.... they shouldn't be applauded!
I can proudly say my parents never destroyed our things if we were naughty. They'd put it away for a few days until we behaved, OR they turned it into an item that we only got to use once a week instead of every day.... to teach us to value our belongings, and where family items (like board games and play sets) were concerned, it was to teach us not to argue over things.
Yeah, I just don't get parents today. They think they can do that kind of bullshit this guy did and like what you went through? NO. Unacceptable.
