Is it my normal that my mother acts like this?

So this type of thing happens a lot. My little sister who's only 15 years old lives with my mom and they share a charger. My mom asked for the charger, so her phone ended up dying overnight. My sister needed to call someone the next day and asked to borrow moms phone. My mom asked why her phone had died, and my sister told her it was because she had the charger. My mom got SUPER pissed, saying that she had completely blamed her for the situation, and started yelling and screaming. Apparently my sister tried to calm her down at first, explaining that she hadn't tried to blame her and that she was over reacting or misunderstood her. The argument started get heated anyway and my sister said fuck you to her mom, and she said fuck you back. We talked about it later, and my mom ended up saying that she thought saying fuck you was justified because she my sister pissed her off. I feel like it was wrong, in my opinion I think as an adult and parent she shouldn't be able to say those things to her child whether she said it first or not. The fact that she justified it worries me. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

    I think you have made some valid points. I think the whole thing has bee blown out of proportion and basically got out of hand in the heat of the battle, so to speak. The parent should be the bigger person here and diffuse these types of misunderstandings when they occur so they don't escalate into verbal abuse. The parent being the older person in the conflict, must be the one to set the example, for the offspring to follow. The mother here has some anger issues to address. Ultimately, It would be a dissapointing outcome for all, if mother and daughter fell out with each other over a dispute about a phone not being charged.

    In my family thr parents are never the bigger people. They get the sense that I am and that ends up annoying them so much more. I mean my bitch ass mother hit me with her shoe because I just want listening to her. I literally wasn't in the mood for one of her tantrums so she went all crazy. I personally think she needs help. She's so insecure, constantly on my case making me hate her, she bloody craves attention to the point where she pretended she was going to die. You know what she's quite pathetic and I pity her but the fact that she vents all her anger on me makes me despise her. I could have supported her but she's a total bitch to me so I can't just wait to get away.

    It was one heated argument between family and the only thing they said was fuck you. Stop acting so worried over nothing this is normal
