and my moms back in the u.s. working...
tonite he got mad and said i was acting bad the whole time which he didnt get mad at me once.
then he started to ask my cousin to dance with him and she said no and he started yelling at her and shes younger than me so i told him ''hey be cool theres other people to dance with and she said no, no means no '' yah know and he started telling me i didnt know anything and calling me stupid and stuff which IS new
and then i walked away to avoid anything and he pulled me by the hair and shoved me against a wall and hit me .. i fell to the floor and then ran upstairs before he could come back
.. the question is should i tell my mom ??
or let it go cuz he was drunk??
cuz i mean when hes sane hes fine and hes soo great
but i dont want to cause more problems between them .. sorry for it being too long

Yes you should definitely tell your mom. Drunk or not, what he did to you was unexecptable and ILLEGAL (child abuse). And if he gets that out of control when he's drunk, he has no business getting drunk in front of you or your cousin (or anyone for that matter). Don't worry about his relationship with your mom, I'm sure she would always put you before any guy in her life!

thnk you soo much !! i told her and shes furious
but yah i understand i have to put my saftey first
