yeah that is considered abuse, and i think you should tell someone. that is my opinion, but then again i dont know the whole story...
-
Yes, that is abuse - no doubt about it. Is there someone you can tell? The child protection authorities? A school counsellor?
-
Although that is considered abuse, the underlying issue is your mothers general well-being. This then reflects on yours. I would reccommend sending her to councilling (if possible), the authorities will most likely treat it as 'just another' household abuse. Also, self-harm is a very serious matter. I think you should see a professional. Most family doctors are actually very good at discussion and can make some good referrals.

Call the cops next time!, and tell them what's up, try to talk to your mom so she can stop or do something different, 'cause after child services get involved, chances are that she might not see u again, don't make her feel threatened, just ask her to do different, if it does not change, be strong and take a step forward in your life, that's not the way a human beign suppose to live, you don't deserve it just like nobody else does. Nothing its your fault, and you know something? whatever your mom and dad tells you about you beign this in that, Kids are mirrors of their parents, you're their expression, what they have created and help modify, Sorry! it ain't your fault. just remember that if they're talking bad about u they're talking bad bout themselves. What I've learned thru the my years that are not that much is that If you don't stand for yourself nobody else will, so deep inside of you u know what to do, you already feel that it ain't right, but as soon as you call child services they will be able to help you out, good luck sweety, you might have to grow faster but it will be the best for you to do. Take care.
