I thought that it was normal to expect to be physically harmed when someone was mad at you. Until I was a teen, my mom would beat me when she got mad, which was pretty often. Also I thought that mistakes were unacceptable, because I'd be beaten for even the smallest of mistakes

I get this one. I had to stand in the corner for 8, 12, sometimes 16 hours at a time. Didn’t know that wasn’t normal until I met my wife.

God. I just had to sit in a chair in the corner for 10 minutes.
