Words are more hurtful in my opinion. They can seriously bring you down and shatter your self confidence. I'm very sorry that you had to endure this from your mother. No child should be treated this way by anyone, especially by their own parent. No matter what was said and how you were treated you have to know that you are special and your important. You are somebody. Don't let your past cloud what beautiful future you can have. You will never forget the things that have been done to you by your mother, but you do have the power to be a happy man if you want to be. No matter what stay positive and good things will come to you.

yeah i think that words hit a lot harder than a fist is the saying that i live by because i mean the scars and pain of the physical attack will fade but the mental and emotional pain kinda follows you everywhere and that can hurt and then you start to beleive the insults and all of that stuff and it really sucks i went through it real bad when i was a child and now got real low seld esteem even though i have no real reason too

It's a different kind of hurt and one that usually takes longer to get over.
Physical pain goes away after awhile, but the words stay in your mind and are reapeated over and over.
Either way you should find someone to talk about this that may help you. Especially if this is not a one time thing.

Yeah, mom's are always insisting that we act a certain way, do what they want and act the same way that they do.
Father's are like that only dad's beat us with the physical objects when we don't agree or raise our voices over their suggestions.
Words do hurt more. Physical abuse just makes us more angry. Neither helps with the self esteem or self worth. Sooner or later we become negative and when it is always negative at home, we begin to lose our zest for being positive.

you know if you are to the point that you are still beat then i dont know what to say...when i was in my parents house even at 21 i was beat til i moved out ...its the authority figure i guess...but yes words cut more that the beatings...my mom would call me a slut and it would hurt for years...rather than the extension cord beatings ...what was the reason for the beating? insults really add to injury especially when you dont have a high self esteem in the first place...

Oh that is aweful first of all a parent shound never beat their child no matter what they have done. Yes words does hurt more than a beating because words stays in your mind and beating they heal and go away . You mother shouldn't never beat you.

Yes i believe so. I experienced both and the broken bones and bruises healed over quickly, the words took longer. I still hold on to some of the mean and degrading remarks that were said to me and that was 3 years ago.

Hitting will eventually make you an angry person but verbally abusing someone stays with you always and every time that anyone says something out of turn to you it is going to piss you off and your not going to be able to handle it. I would advise going to your school counselor and advise him of the truth beatings and verbal abuse may make you listen but it will not help you in the long run trust me I had plenty of it

Hurtful words can stay with you for a lifetime.
They can cause you to feel worthless and buy into what is not true.
You can overcome it. Be determined to be better than the ones who hurt with words.
Break the cycle of hate with kindness and love!

I'd rather get hit than insulted.
Physical pain goes away, emotional does not.
Answer hate with love. But if she is really beating you and abusing you verbally, tell a counselor at school. No one deserves that. I'm praying for you.
