    I am 16 and a girl. In the last year my mother has gone totally mad. She loses her cool at the slightest thing and starts swiping out wildly. She has hurt me badly a few times. She has now taken to laying down rules and then going mad when they are not followed.

    Okay, first things first if you don't feel safe at home and you think you and your family needs help then talk to a Teacher or you can go straight to a socail worker at your local health clinic.

    It sounds like your mother is under stress but she shouldn't be lashing out at you and hurting you. There could be heap of reasons why which help can be gotten for.

    Get help, it's what it's there for and there's no shame in it, they there are to help and support children and families.

    I don't want to go down the road of medical diagnosis but it is possible that your mum is having trouble with the menopause or there's something else afoot that is making her sick. She needs to have a qualified medical professional look at her. First things first though. You need to look after yourself and get help. I hope you have family that you can turn to for help. You need somewhere safe to stay and your mum needs help.

    My mam went grade A bat **** crazy during the menopause, however she never hit me or anything. You should talk to someone in authority if this is getting physical, a teacher perhaps?Mind yourself.

    I'll repeat as above that my mother also became significantly more unpleasant during menopause (and with some additional stress). It was never physical though.

    Hi OP,
    Do you have anyone that you trust that you can talk to? A brother, sister, aunt or teacher maybe? No matter how upset or stressed your mother is she should not be hitting you. If she has hurt you badly and you are afraid you may want to think about staying with a friend for a little while until she gets help. I don't know how else to advise except to tell you that this isn't normal and you shouldn't be in this environment, please talk to someone you trust.
    All the best.
