My mom and I never get along. We're either always fighting or always getting on each others nerves. I guess you could say that's normal seeing as how I'm a teenage girl and not prone to obeying orders or authority. But that's not the point. Sometimes our fights are verbal, but they turn quickly into physical. She'll slap me or hit me or pinch me, scratch me, and chase after me. If i hit her back, she acts like it's the worst crime in the world, when all i'm trying to do is to defend myself. Today, I had a headache, and asked her to turn down the tv. She wouldn't, so i turned it down myself, and told her, "How about that?" in a kind of smart-aleck way. However, she took it a little too far. She jumped up and came at me, grabbed my left hand, and bent my fingers back. I seriously felt like they were about to break, i was in so much pain, so i slapped her everywhere i could to get her off me before she broke my hand. After I sat down, she kicked me on the leg, and immediately a lump swelled on my leg followed by a nasty-looking bruise. I really don't know if this counts as abuse, but it's starting to wear me out and i've been crying every night because it happens every other day. I just don't know what to do, and I really need help.

i don't think that's abuse she your mother at times you guys are going to fight. i will admit that the fight over the TV was a little to much. one word of advice try not to hit or mother ask almost anyone you should never hit or Mother back unless it goes way off just a little fight. one last thing when u said who about that that want needed so at that point u turned it in to something bigger then it was. i don't mean to talk your mother side but you both add things to the fire.

You're a brat. If you were my child and you gave me an attitude lie that, i would slap you across the face at minimum. Brat's like you need to be straightened out.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree.

That is just not right.

Agreed. To say that what's happening to this girl is in any way shape or form acceptable is beyond absurd. I'm all for parenting, and kids behaving, but this is not on.

It isn't right for a fucking child whom you are providing everything for to disrespect you in such a way. How can you find it appropriate for a child to disobey their parent and lower their parent's TV volume, and then on top of that shove it in their face? A slap across the face is more than warranted. Maybe all the pinching and such is excessive, but as far as the TV was concerned, this brat got what they asked for.

Whoah whoah whoah. No need for all the big words and language.

You gotta look at it from the other side though, too. Does the mother really need to have the T.V up so high?

And non the less, nearly breaking your childs hand over turning the TV down is uncalled for.

Okay, yeah it's a bit much. But you know what? This girl knows her mother has a temper, and for her to be so rude is just stupid. I would never tolerate that kind of behavior from my child.
