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?

Don't accuse her of anything, just tell her how you feel about the way she's acting, and make sure you tell her you love her. Ask your mom if she'd like to talk if things are bothering her. Just be there for her if that's what she needs. Mom's are human too, they go through there own deal of problems, and it affects the way they act towards people. Good luck :) [ manders's advice column | Ask manders A Question ]

I know you might not want to hear this but what she is doing isn't right. The best thing you can do is talk to someone you trust about this. Someone you know can help you get her help.

But, you also need to confront her about slapping you and yelling at you for such a little mistkae, slapping = abuse, and you should probably nip this in the bud before it gets anyworse. I hope everything works out

samthebear answered Friday July 7 2006, 1:57 am: why don't you try and talk to your mother? or if that won't work or if she becomes defensive and turns on you again try and seek help from a professional... i really don't think what is happening is right, you should work it out between you and your mother soon. hope that helps =] [ samthebear's advice column | Ask samthebear A Question ]
Altruistic answered Friday July 7 2006, 1:48 am: Did you try talking to her? Maybe it's just a huge misunderstanding between you too? That's how my mom is with me sometimes, though it hasn't been over cooking macaroni yet. If talking to her doesnt work, try not to fight with her. Just do what she wants and until she's pleased, then dont deal with her after that. The best way is to talk to her and let her know how you feel, unless thats her nature, then you somehow get your mom to a psychiatrist (however you spell it). the worst thing to do is to fight or yell back (as i've learned) because it only makes things worse. i hope i helped at least somewhat and if you still need help, feel free to message me.

cheburashka answered Friday July 7 2006, 1:08 am: 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.
