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.
