Ok A 2 days ago me and my family came back after going to dinner. My Dad Went to sleep but me and my mom sat on the sofa and talked. After a while I noticed several (5-6) bruises on her legs. I asked her what it was and she said that for some reason she never got hurt their but those bruises just appeared. I was a little suspious but I waited for another day. The next day everthing was fine. But today morning i noticed another (pretty big) bruise on her arm. I remember from a couple of years ago that one of the bruises on her leg were their. My Family has always been a loving family and we have always been together. But Now I am Very Scared That My Dad May Be hitting her. i know he has not done anything to me. I am just suspious so should i worry, or what should i do? Please help. Thanks

It's VERY unlikely that your dad would put bruises on your mom and not hurt you too. Another sign would be that they argue a lot. If they don't argue and he hasn't hurt you, the chances are that the bruises are benign in origin. Can you ask your mother how it is she came to have the bruises? Some medications will make bruising very, very easy where just a little bump will bruise. You are a good person to be concerned.

Domestic abuse happens a great deal in our nation. Women who are victims of abuse often will be in denial or will make excuses for the abuser. Maybe your Mom needs to talk to another woman or to a counselor or someone in a similar position.
Often, an abuser will apologize after the fact and the abused person will think that if "I could just do better", everything will be "alright".
Are there other signs that these bruises might be domesic violence? There are some ideas you may wish to consider: Have you witnessed abusive behavior from your father or someone else in the family towards your Mom or towards anyone else? Is he a very jealous person? Verbal abuse, hitting, punching, slapping, or other behaviors might be a tip off. Also, is your mom extremely nervous or anxious? If it is domestic violence, she needs to know what resources are available in her community, such as counselors, police, or women's shelters. If she is being abused, she needs help to realize that she needs to get herself and her children out of that situation, and into a shelter or other living arrangement away from the source of the abuse.

Since you live in the house and never have witnessed anything it probably is nothing. She probably bruises really easily. I do. One time I had the weirdest formation of bruises, it looked like someone had grabbed my fore arm really hard and left bruises where fingers would have been grabbing me; but I couldn't think of anything that could have caused it.

Something is going on. Sounds like your dad needs to get the **** kicked out of him and should tell him that if you see another mysterious bruise on her that he is going to have mysterious bruises all over his body!

maybe you're just being paranoid about a situation that doesnt actually exist, but she's your mother, not some random stranger, so you should be open enough with her 2 ask, just flat out ask without sugarcoating anything. You will be able 2 read what is going on thru her eyes regardless of what she tells you

Come right out and ask her. Re-assure her that you will respect her wishes, but you just need to know. If she does admit it, then get in touch with an organization that helps abused women and children and seek their advice on how to move forward. Hopefully it's nothing, good luck!

Huh, that is suspicious. All you can do is be honest with your mom and tell her what you are thinking and how you are feeling.
