Is it normal to seriously consider beating the crap out of your mom?
Ever since i was about 8 my mom has always had anger issues and abused me both physically and verbally. She still tells me everyday how much she hates me, how she wished i had died, how i should kill myself, how im a piece of shit, how everyone else is better than me and im useless etc. and when she gets mad she'll occasionally beat me. She's beat me with her fists, brooms, rulers, anything she can get her hands on really. Once she ever punched me so hard as a kid and i lost my vision for a day in that eye. She's also slapped me so hard i heard ringing in my ears. She loves to slap me around and does so at least once a week. She treats my dad in pretty much the same way except doesn't hit him. She adores my sister though. Keep in mind we're not some white trash family and that my mom is a ivy league grad and together my parents make 4mil a year. Anyways, she's 5'2 and maybe 130lbs, I'm 18, 170lb, and 6'. I could easily fight back but i don't want to do anything i would regret later in life. Is it normal that i've come super close to just beating the living crap out of my own mother?
