| My Mom Yells And Throws Things | Abuse | My Mom Yells And Throws Things | <div class="ExternalClass26EEFE989332441CBF012FEAD65085DB"><p style="font-family:georgia;font-size:16px;">I<span>'m pretty sure my mother is emotionally or
verbally abusive or at the very least incredibly unhealthy for me. She yells at
me a lot and throws things (sometimes at me or sometimes because she's yelling
and mad). She says I'm "perceiving things wrong" because sometimes I raise my voice when she yells at me or I say things back to her or whatever
(because I don't want to just stand and take what she does a lot of the time)
and then for awhile I don't know if she's wrong or if I'm actually a bad child and
in the wrong. She goes off and is like "I can't do anything right I'm a bad mom because you can never be happy :((". She yells at me
(especially when she's stressed). She throws things, blames me for things that aren't
even my fault (the shower not working, etc.), and other things but it's just...
it's just bad. I mean she's nice to me sometimes. I don't know what to do
anymore because I can't keep living like this. Sometimes I'm afraid to be at
her house because I'm scared she'll yell at me over something and maybe one day
she'll hit me (I mean, she already has but not recently). I don't know what
to do. </span></p>

difficulties between you and your mother. Is there someone at your school
you could talk to about your relationship with your mother? Many schools
have guidance counselors who can provide help for this type of situation.</span></p>
