What is this?

Question

uhm, is this abuse of any sort or something?
well my mom is normal, [seemingly] sometimes.
like the usual thought of what a mom would seem,
but sometimes she loses her temper and starts cussing at me or whoever and she'll just get frustrated [i wish i could smack her mouth shut].
right now, my little forgot to defrost a frozen chicken thing we were gonna eat tonight she forgot to take it out of the freezer is all then when my mom got home she went into idiot mode.
she just screamed and cussed at my sister and slapped her on the back of her head.
she does this often WHEN she is ANGRY,
but it's not like a daily thing she does on purpose to hurt us purposefully.
uhm i was just wondering, first of all, she's an idiot, and second, does she need anger management or something?
and when we did tell someone on her once, that she abuses us, she always responds 'oh i'm just trying to discipline them, oh i would never hurt them, oh blah'
and she cries
ugh i'm sick of this, what do i do?

uhm
hello
i'm not dumb lol k.thnx.
i know we should care much for her, and still do as she has given birth to us,
but why doesnt she care enough for us is what really is portent.

Answer 1

It's not appropriate or acceptable for a mother to cuss at her children, and hitting her kid in the head definitely does not count as discipline. Two types of abuse there: emotional and physical. I think you should talk to a teacher or counselor at school about it.

Answer 2

She seems to have anger management problems. Is she a single mom? She probably doesn't even realize how she is treating you.

Yes, it could be construed as abuse. You should talk to a counselor. they can help you. If, however you decide to speak to someone, they may be legally obligated to call child protection services you can also go directly to them (at least that's what it is called in my area) and they'd have to investigate. You could theoretically be removed from the family home. Could you handle that? It's a tough decision, but if that's what it takes for her to learn different coping and parenting skills, it may be worth it.


Best of luck to you and the little.

Answer 3

I agree, you should talk to a school counselor or teacher about the problems you are having at home. Just explain to them that your mother does not do this everyday but when it does happen it really frightens you and your sister. The school and local family services office will help your mother seek anger management therapy and hopefully everything will get better from there.
You have to be brave for yourself and your sister but most importantly, you have to get your mother the help she needs because she does not see herself as having a problem.

Answer 4

Your mom definitely has a temper control problem, but she isn't admitting it and won't seek help. Try talking to a counselor at school about what you should do. I'm really sorry. Can you possibly tape a tantrum without her knowing?
