Should I Metoo my father and 100% of my friends/relatives father (or mother)
if it's true that they are only going in this direction because it happened to their sister after years went by, it's not really a simple case of "me too," is it?
I'm glad they spoke up. They needed to this because the story about the rift kept wasn't going away and was getting stranger and stranger without additional insight. Everything makes sense now.
Judging by some of the replies in this thread, a lot of people have been physically abused by a parent and think it's normal, healthy and leads to greatness. That's called a coping mechanism, you all need therapy.

Watch Letsrun defend childbeatings... "it was normal back in the day, tough love, it made them who they are today, it must have worked...." etc. Savages.
I hope now you can realize they drew the line when violence came to Ingrid. You can beat us, but not our sister. I have nothing but respect for the Brothers.
No offense but you sound extremely sheltered. Or have a very narrow and naive scope of how the world works. Not sure where you’re from but getting spanked or hit for misbehaving when you’re a kid is extremely common where I’m from. Beating a child to the point where they have to get treated at a hospital crosses the line though. Not everyone was privileged or lucky enough to grow up in a perfect and loving family like you, with parents who gave you kisses and hugs every day.
You got to respect them saying that they think its hard, even against Gjert, to come clean about this, which is evident since they didn't say anything about it for so long. I can understand why they dont want their father present at meets.
No matter what side you pick, it must an absurd situation to have a public ongoing conflict with their dad, which they obviously have very conflicting feelings about.

Well you are obviously not from Norway where beating your kid is illegal and seen as child abuse. I dont get why you act like they should be ashamed for not getting beat up as a kid. No offense, but no kid deserves violence in their upbringing.

“Physical abuse is common! Therefor you should accept being abused! It’s common from where I’m from, so you should just be okay with it”
Now let’s do a thought experiment and switch the words physical abuse out with…
Trafficking? Opiate abuse? Slavery? Child marriage? Public execution?
You could use any of these horrible things and so many more to make the same argument you just made. Don’t act like the people that believe hitting a kid isn’t okay are the narrow minded ones. You being blinded by your culture is the narrowmindedness.
You really think the Ingebrigstens are being estranged from their father over the occasional light spanking when they were kids? What a delusional thread holy crap.

That’s my question too. If they are just referring to some occasional spankings, that is a very weak complaint.
Spanking or other physical punishment is a crime in Norway. What your personal view is is irrelevant
LRC note. From wikipedia:
Norway School corporal punishment was explicitly prohibited in 1936. In 1972, an 1891 law that gave parents some right to use corporal punishment of their children was removed from the constitution of assault in the Penal Code, which made corporal punishment of children unlawful and punishable as assault. In order to clarify that violence towards children is not allowed, an explicit ban on corporal punishment of children came into force in 1987.[61]
However, the Supreme Court of Norway ruled in 2005 that a light "careful slap" applied immediately after the "offence" was still allowed.[62][63] The legislature abolished this in 2010, and the current law is that any violence against children, including "careful slaps", is prohibited.[64]

Maybe you're right. Maybe I do need therapy. But getting disciplined when I was a child didn't affect me to the point where I needed to completely cut my parents out of my life, shame them on a world stage and try to ruin their careers. That's extremely beta behavior.
No, it´s not normal Norway. Norway was the first in the world to prohibit teachers from using violence against children at school, when they legislated this back in 1936. It was not until 1987 that a law came which also prohibited parents from physically punishing or violating their children.
Hold your horse there will ya? I was spanked, actually whipped with wooden flexible cane, far worse than Ingrid and the brothers and guess what I actually had to go to school as a 10 yr old child with inflamed skin whip marks all over my body especially the hands and legs which are visible and people were joking about how I had definitely misbehaved at home to end up this way!
Did I complain about it? Absolutely not! I took it like a man when I was boy although I had no idea what a man is supposed to be like or behave. But my subconscious response seem to already be congruent with that of a real man's one which is to bear the pain, eat humble pie and swallow my pride and reflect on my sinful actions. Such moral reflection mechanism upon spanking is the kind of conditioning needed to excel later in all aspects of life, brace failure courageously and overcome it with valiant-ness!

I mean, you are bragging about how well you took your abuse as a child, on an internet forum called letsrun. They have won international medals while being influenced by it. Pretty clear what is beta behavior, but tell yourself what you need to cope I guess.

Different generations have different challenges. Life is a gift and so are all of the little hurdles. Great people find ways to do great things despite the different challenges. Humans haven't evolved so much over the past 1000 years that they can't deal with hardship or trauma. Trauma is an essential part of existence and growth. Coping is the thing that allows life to flourish in all forms.

Not quite, a certain of degree of spanking, which you all can debate about, is still needed for greatness and excellence in life. Look here, the bible doesn't say in Proverbs 13:24 "he who spares the rod hates his son......" in vain or capriciously! It's fact and it's prophecy. The ROD, or degree of ROD = excellence and success!
