Anger, anger, and guess what?? More anger

[Altiier]

My mother has a very stressful job, and she does not know how to vent her emotions very well. So I guess im her punching bag, last night I was finished with my chores and asked her it there was anything else I needed to do, she responded by flaring her nostrils and breathing a "no". I lay down on my bed a popped my headphones in (Music helps astronomical amounts) when she busts in screaming about how I need to mow the grass "at 10:00 -_-", so I tell her its too dark and that ill start in the morning. She rants on and on about my chronic laziness and a girl that I love with every ounce of my heart (my mom scared her away :'( )but then seems to back off. So I go to sit on the bed when she just pushes me off, and I hit my head on the nightstand, then she grabbed my hand to pull me somewhere. and I smacked her hand away. She grabs a knife.... she tries to grab me again but i kick her hand and her knee she falls down on her knees and raises the hand the knife is in so I kick her twice in the face and run out of the house, I stayed at a friends house last night, I walked back this morning. I assume my mom is at work. What should I do? I dont want to call the police, my family is already fucked up. She might go crazy.

It sounds like she needs some serious help. If she had any intention to stab you then you need to call the police ASAP. In my opinion if anyone has the intention to hurt you or does anything that would harm you, you have the right to defend youself which in this case it sounds like you did. Have you told anyone about this, if not tell them right away.

I would call the cops. With the knife, she could have done some serious damage to you.

If you perhaps struggling to tell the cops and are scared tell a friend or someone you can trust. Try calling the Child Protective Services next time something like this happens. If you can (If you are safe and careful) talk to her about her behavior and how it needs to stop. She is a mother and needs to act like one.

If ypu love her you would get her help
Please call someone she needs to be seen by some one
Next time she might go too far. She needs the help trust me she will thank you for it later

Next time she bully's you beat the shit out of her, then she will know not to attack you. Failing that call the police if she attacks you. For your own safety theas are your best two choices. As for what to do to maintain a happy home life and be safe I do not know. My best guess is that it is ether or.

By allowing her to do that stuff to you isn't helping you OR her. I think you need to tell someone, like a teacher or something

[CosmicNoodle]

If someone attacked me with a knife i would beat the shit out of them as much as i can without killing them.
So long as it is scene as defense and not revenge then the corts will most likely rule in your favour

Call the police. She has a serious issue that needs resolving.
