Okay, tonight, my mom got really mad at me. Like REALLY mad. And it was all over this stupid box of macaroni that she asked me to make for dinner. I read the instructions wrong, and thought that you had to let the water boil for 10 minutes before putting in the macaraoni. So anyway, she flipped out on me. And started screaming. And she slapped me twice. And i really wanted to hit her, but i didn't, i just grabbed her wrist's really hard. So she flipped out on me contiunously, and after i made dinner, she went on to say "i dont even like this crap anyway" and didn't eat all of it.

This isn't the first time she's done stuff like this and i dont know how to deal with it. what do i do? (link)
maybe she has other serious stress factors in her life, like her job or something else, and she's taking it out on you. it happens a lot and sometimes the only way to deal with it is just to swallow it. when she begins to react at you this way, just be quiet and don't say anything. also, when my mom was like this (years ago), my brothers once recorded her while she was at it and then played the recording to her later. it made her really ashamed of herself and she never acted like that again. or you could just say "you need to see yourself in the mirror right now" or "i wish you could hear yourself!" that might cause a little more negativity at that moment, but still cause her to reflect upon it later.
