if this was a first time thing, and she was having a bad day or something, forgive her. but there is a huge difference between that and abuse. if she hits you a lot, tell someone about it. it will help a lot.

hope i helped = ]]

First let me point out that there is a major difference between abuse and dicipline. If your mother hits you often and recklessly, then that is abuse. Although it does sound like she stepped out of line in this case (still swollen after a few days)I don't think she is putting you in any danger. I would forgive her, tell her how you feel. When she hit you, she hurt you physically and also emotionally. There has to be another (non violent) way that she can express herself. Let her tell you how she felt as well. Why did it come to that? What made her so angry? Really work this out!

If nothing like this has happened before and she's learnt her lesson enough to never do it again then yeah I guess forgive her as best you can. However this is a really crappy thing to happen and however much she apologises she's crossed a line that'll change your relationship- your mum's supposed to be the person who protects you. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes you quite a long time to rebuild trust in her and that's something she will have to accept.

A fat lip sounds like she hit you pretty hard and actually hit you rather than a slap or something and that must be pretty scary. If you are scared or if ANYTHING like this happens again, talk to someone you trust about it like your guidance councilor.

Yes you should defantly forgive her..she is your mother and you only have one so you shouldn't spend your time being upset at her..especially if she is apologizing. your lip will soon be back to normal..hope i helped:)
