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?

    Even if you don't want to beat her, make it fucking clear she can't do that to you anymore. If she tries, defend yourself. Grab her arm. Stop her.

    I'm sorry you had to go through all that shit, though, that's just awful. Honestly, I'd say it'd be fully understandable if you did just kick her ass.

    People don't realize how often mothers and wives can be the abusive ones in families. The males are usually too too ashamed and sometimes it feels easier to live with it than to do something about it, same when men are the abusers. Any domestic abuse is horrible. You really shouldn't try to solve violence with violence. Stop her from hitting you, let her know she doesn't have the right to put her hands on you. And if it is still a problem try and talk to your father about causing some sort of change. And next time she ever tells you you're not good enough or tells you you're a piece of shit, just know at least you're not an abusive parent/spouse.

    Next time she hits you,grab her by her throat and slam her to the floor! She will be semi conscious and unable to fight back ! You need to break her from the inside and treat her like a whore! Rip her clothes off and drag her by the hair until she wakes up! Now,you take her soul by slapping her face harder and mount her naked body! She can't stop you from fucking her senseless!

    yes given the background its normal. ive had times with family members that ive thought about it. but in doing so that would make her no better than her and i assume you want to be nothing how she is when you are a mother. also besides the fact lie you said she is family and you wouldnt want to do anything you would regret plus if you did so it could just keep the fire burning and start a little family war. believe in yourself. youre strong and youll be okay. find something you love and be passionate about it and focus the bad energy into doing something you love. just be the strong self that you are and soon youll be able to move out and live exactly how you dream to live.
