I'd like to give your mom a piece of my mind!!!!! YES honey it is abuse!!! This can lead to deep emotional scars that could effect you later in other relationships (after all who can you trust if you can't even trust your mom,right?) You can't force your mom to get help unless you call the appropriate authorities. Confide in one of your friends parents if you're scared.Chances are, they probably already know. Children are precious gifts and it REALLY burns me when people abuse the opportunity they get to be parents. YOU are precious and deserve to be treated that way. Ask your mom if you can get counselling or talk to your guidance counsellor at school, perhaps your mom will see you and follow your lead and seek help herself.

Generally speaking, if you have bruises a week later, it's abusive in nature. You can call your local child protective services and report her or talk to your guidance counselor at school. It's not uncommon for an abused child to not see themselves as being abused. What you are experiencing is normal for you. Having lived that way, you'd not see it as something out of the ordinary. There are ways that your mother can be helped, if she is willing, but someone other than you needs to bring it to her attention.

It's abuse in my eyes, especially since she's hitting you hard enough to leave bruises. Your mother needs help right away. You don't treat people you really love like that, no matter who they are. If it doesn't stop, please tell someone, before she goes off the deep end. Maybe you'd feel comfortable by talking to someone at school. Do it soon!!!!

It could be but like was she like really really mad when she did it ......and with the wooden spoon did she back hand you with it??? if so (if she didn't just tap you with it) then yeah it sounds like abuse .....but to solve it just talk 2 her about it and tell her to ease up because when your older you might think back to that and HATE her or you'll act really weird when your older(how old ARE you...)because how your childhood affected you.... SO talk 2 her about it and tell her how it might affect you when your older she'll probably ease up a bit.
BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK!!!!

Hun.. me Friend and I go through the same things.. you aren't alone. She is abusing you, and you need to stop her b4 she starts making your life and your world a living breathing hell! tell some one that you trust, a teacher, a friend someone that you know won't tell the police.. because when it goes to them, then you may never see her again or live with another family member. Good Luck babe... Good luck xoxo, Ravina

She is apparently stressed and taking it out on you. It is abuse. Take her a nice hot cup of tea, coffee, or her favorite refreshment, sit her down and tell her that you understand she's stressed and maybe she should get some help but to quit taking it out on you. If this doesn't work, talk to someone close to her, and get them to help her. If this doesn't work, then it is time to talk to a counseler or someone else at school to get help.

Definitely...your mother should not be striking you in such a manor. No one has the right to hit anyone else...your mother should find another way of communicating with you about what she wants and when she doesn't get you to do what she wanted, then she needs to find another way of discipline.

Sorry my dear,but that is abuse.
No parent has the right to assault you like that.
verbal communication is the best.
Although you might not be doing the things she has asked of ,gives her no right to talk you in that manor.Have you talked to anyone about this?
I believe your mother needs counseling also,to learn positive ways to handle her anger.
Good Luck

Oh yeah. If you still have doubts, get the book "Memory and Abuse" by Charles L. Whitfield from your local library. If they don't have it, ask them to get through inter-library loan.
Reading this will open your eyes.
