My mum and dad have split up, and my dad was rather abusive to her...but unfortuntley, I'm just like him. I look like him, talk like him (Accent), think like him, but I'm not violent or anything- it's just, my Mum seems to see me in the same light, and she dosen't like who I am anymore.
She says that I am cold and angry towards her and my brothers and that she feels nervous whenever she is around, and i have no respect for her and expect her to do everything for me and then do nothing in return.
I am not the person she see me as. I have good friends, get on well in school, and live a generally chipper life- but she says I'm always scowling and angry- and I'm worried because that's exactly what she used to say to my dad.
And she would take the boys side in an argument any day. I can't do anything right in her eyes, I'm sorry I rambled...but i don't know what to do.

Sit down with your mom, just the two of you, when you won't be interrupted. Acknowledge the way your dad treated her. Let her know you love her and would never hurt her. You can't help how your face looks, but when she's around, could you make an effort to put a big grin on your face, even if it seems silly? Give her hugs often, let her know you're there for her. She's going through a rough and confusing time right now. Good luck.

You need to tell her everything you just told us. Let her know she has nothing to fear. That you will try harder to be more appreciative or what she does and tell her you can't help how you look. She chose your father, not you.
