Well, it's normal if she is severely abusive. You just haven't mentioned what she does exactly that is so abusive.
Being an attention whore is not being abusive unless she is exploiting you for her attention.
My dad is a professor. My mom just to get to be the center of attention took the answer key without informing my dad and gave it to the students. The students were all compliments (of course), but my poor dad was still lecturing seriously, when his students who now have the answer key were laughing at him.
That's not abusive. That's her being just stupid.
I would consider abusive to be molesting your kids, or getting them hooked on meth, or burning them on the stove or in boiling water, etc. Those things are abusive. I could give hundreds more examples of horror stories I have personally heard from people about child abuse and calling something like cheating on tests as abusive is almost an insult to people who have gone though these sort of things.
Fact remains, what you stated is not infact abuse...perhaps there's an element that you missed, but as you stated it there, it's just something stupid, not abusive.
Also, if you're 13, you shouldn't be here. Thought it would certainly explain why you hate a parent. We all hate parents at that age.
If someone is abusive, divorce is best for the kid.
My dad is a drunkard ex con who was physically and emotionally abusive. He hit my mother. She eventually left, I was two and my brother was three months.
I don't wish my father dead. I'm just grateful he wasn't and isn't a big part of my life.
Is it normal to wish your mother is dead

Emotional and verbal abuse is just as severe if not more so than physical abuse.

I'm not 13, I'm 21. I just lived with her for 13 years.

Probably should have clarified that, too, then.
Honestly, how would you feel if you were my dad.

I'd simply get a divorce. I probably would have long ago if she does stuff like that a lot.

But what if you had a kid with her? Would you still get a divorce, then? What about your kid?

If someone is abusive, divorce is best for the kid.
My dad is a drunkard ex con who was physically and emotionally abusive. He hit my mother. She eventually left, I was two and my brother was three months.
I don't wish my father dead. I'm just grateful he wasn't and isn't a big part of my life.
I will never understand why some people think divorce is bad for the kid.
I was fortunate to have good parents. They weren't abusive and are both good people.
At the same time, they did not get along with each other. They eventually got divorced and honestly it was somewhat of a relief.
