What do you do if you’re scared to be in your own house?

0

Tonight I got into a fight with my mother. We don’t fight often, rarely actually, and we have a good relationship. Tonight, we got into a screaming match and the was continually getting into my personal space, even after I repeatedly asked her to stop. Things escalated and she began to strangle me, and she went as far as telling me she’d kill me. I have bad asthma so it was very hard to breathe. I feel as if I have nobody to turn to personally, and I don’t want to call the police because my life would change for the worse.

I'm sorry but call the police.

In all honestly, you should tell someone about this. Your mother obviously has some issues that need to be resolved, and those issues should be resolved by a professional. I don't know if you should go as far as calling the police, because this is the first time she's done something as irrational as this, but if you don't feel comfortable confronting her and requesting she see a professional for her anger, then I do advice you call the cops.Otherwise, calmly explain to her that she needs to see someone about what happened. Tell her it isn't healthy for either of you, and quite frankly you're afraid. It isn't going to be an easy conversation, but it will benefit both of you.Best of luck, and if you ever need to talk to someone I'm here.

I know how you feel. The idea of calling the cops on someone you love is almost unthinkable, even if they deserve it. I have suffered abuse from a parent and it is one of the worst things for a kid to go through. If you aren't ready to report her find another adult you can go to, is there a teacher you can reach out to or a neighbor you might know? Perhaps a friend's parent? You don't need to call the cops right away but you need to let someone else know so that you have an ally and someone to go to if it ever happens again. I understand what you're going through and it's very scary but if you need someone to talk to who has been there don't hesitate to connect with me! You're not alone.

Go to a close friend or sibling & stay with them. Stay with a close friend or family member until you feel safe in your own home. Nobody should feel scared in there own home. If your mother try to make you stay or goes any further you need to LEAVE & GET HELP. I'm here to talk if you need to!!!!!!!!!!! <3
