hey guys! ok so yesterday i hit my sister cuz she was pissin me off (im 13 and shes almost 12) so my mom screamed really loud 4 us 2 come dowstairs. and from what i remember, (my mind has accumulated a habit of forgetting the nasty things my mom says and does 2 me. its actually a good thing so that way im not so sad) my mom told us 2 sit down and she started tellingmy sister and i how it was all our fault and then she went on to start criticizing us us like she always does. so i looked @ the ground and rolled my eyes thinking and hoping she did not see. but she did. before i could process what was happening, my body had instinctively curled up into a tight ball. as my mother was screaming and hitting and pulling my hair so hard i was positive it would rip out of my scalp. i was so scared i was crying uncontrollably and she didnt care. she kept yelling at me and my sis. and then she told me to look at her while she was talking. so i did. and before i knew it, she charged at me again and began screaming and pulling my hair and hitting me. she screamed "don't f***ing glare at me b**ch! how does it feel to be hitby someone bigger than you?" is this abuse? or merely dicipline? explain. thanks in advance. kisses!

In my point of view....It's abuse!!!!! Discipline is a hit not so much pain that your hair is falling out from being pulled. Look I know you love your mother but she needs to know that she can't do that.
Abuse is also not physical either. It is also verbal which by what she said is what you're having too.
I think it is awful what parents do to get attention but let me give you some advice. Looking at this situation....I can see it's not normal for you're mother. (She might of been stressed and etc.) Although I am saying this I am not happy with her decisions of discipline.
If this happens again...tell me. What's important is you and your sister. Like I said there is a thin line between abuse and discipline.
