Verbal and physical abuse?

[AllyKat675]

My mom and i are always fighting weather its physical or verbal we always are. I dont even know how these fights start anymore we just fight...We dont always get physical but when we do i never have the chance to defend yslef and when we fight verbally she alwyas has to get personal and it pisses me off for some reason in my family no one knows how to talk things out and my older brother is also severely aggresive and i have to know is anyone else's family like that?:mad::(

My family is very much like that.
In the sense that no one can talk things out. We all yell, a lot, and my relationship with my family is totally horrible because of it.
It can be tiring to listen to.

My family is like that.
And thanks to them....i'm depressed.
But believe me, your not the only one with a family like that.
Ovbiously some families are much much worse than others, but if you ever need to talk about anything, i'd be happy to speak to you and i'm sure everyone else here would aswell.

my mom's different. she prefers talking to us in a gentle way if there is something she needs to correct. she believes that yelling at each other will only make matters worst. and I'm thankful for that...

My family is a weird one, but you first. Try no focusing on all the times you do fight, and the times that you actually don't (even if there is only one or two times).


My family doesn't ever get physical but it is verbal a lot. It always starts by something like my dad yelling at my brother because he is a f*** up... My dad will be pist and yell at my mom for something stupid... It then spreads to me and then our whole family is yelling and pist. I don't focus on all the times we do yell or fight though. It helps when you focus on all the times you do get along and actually act like a family.


I hope that helps, thats really all I know what to say...

My Mother also prefers talking to us in a gentle way if there is something she needs to correct,

Where I come from, "getting Physical" is against the the law. It kinda hard to imagine my parents ever being that way, but it obvious there are lots of parents that don't know how to control themselves.

My Mom and Dad have always been the type to sit down and work things out type of parents. Now there are things they do not tolerate in me and that is back talk and if I curse at them. They will never get physical or emotionally abusive towards me, but they will immediately end the conservation and punish me and then pick up the conversation at a later date. Like Hayley said in her post in my country that I live in they do not tolerate especially physical abuse and a child can immediately be taken out of the home for anything like that. You shouldn't have to live like that.

That's really unfortunate... what you can try and do is remove yourself in those situations. Don't talk unless you need to and don't respond to anything aggressive. Move away from her when she becomes physically violent. If she is verbally attacking you, leave the room and go to your room, cool down. Talk to your friends about it and let them know what's happening. They may be able to help.

However, you should also seek help from the relevant authorities. What she's doing isn't right - might be because she has something going on in her life that may be affecting this, maybe it is pure hatred.

Not anymore. Mine was a lot like that on a regular. I can remember my mom throwing a lamp at me cause I walked into the room

Sucks, but yeah, avoid conflict, don’t fall into it, let her win for now so it doesn’t get physical

Seek help outside the home
