My mum viscously attacked me today

Whilst I was feeding my toddler, she pulled my hair, slapped my face, punched me in the head.

I’ve hated this woman since I can remember but kept it to myself god knows why. She crossed a major line today and I don’t think I can ever speak to her ever again. I feel like reporting her for benefit fraud and Report her for assault. I’m her carer but I left her completely alone today. She’s dead to me.

I know I am definitely not being unreasonable but I really needed to vent. Feels like my life sentence has ended today.

You say you're her carer, I presume she's in her right mind?

I'm so sorry :(

Littlemissdaredevil · 06/03/2020 21:07

Do report to the police. Since you are her cater I would then call social services and ask for an assessment as you are unable to care for her due to her violence

Missarad · 06/03/2020 21:07

Why are u her carer is she mentally I'll?. Stop claiming and stop seeing her vile woman

Msmcc1212 · 06/03/2020 21:09

It’s never ok to use physical aggression unless you are protecting yourself. Witnessing physical aggression is also a child protection issue because it so bad for development. You need support for yourself and for you child/children. Give Social Services a ring to get the support you need. I know people fear having children removed but that is always a last resort.

Mamato2gorgeousboys · 06/03/2020 21:09

That is disgusting behaviour. Cut contact completely and she can sort herself out. Unless she’s mentally ill and if that’s the case, speak to social services and as a pp said, tell them that you can no longer care for her due to her violence.

Herpesfreesince03 · 06/03/2020 21:10

Is she mentally unwell op? Either way you need to stop caring for her

Falcor40 · 06/03/2020 21:11

Did you call the police?

CheekyMango · 06/03/2020 21:13

That's not a safe place to take your toddler. Xx

Serin · 06/03/2020 21:14

You poor thing.
It sounds like you have been suffering from her abuse for years.
Are you safe?

Livelovebehappy · 06/03/2020 21:15

You say you’re her carer - does she have Alzheimer’s or similar? If so they can be aggressive, and definitely get her assessed by social workers.

exhauated101 · 06/03/2020 21:18

Claims she’s got a bad back, bad knee, depression, dementia, blood problems, post heart attack, constant dizziness, weak hand grip, and last but not least incontinence.

She was dancing in high heels at a wedding last weekend all night long. Had managed to hit me today. Never wears an incontinence pad. Likes to brag about how horrendously ill she is when there is nothing wrong with her at all. She’s just obese and can’t stop stuffing food in her mouth if her life depends on it. (Will even eat my babies food out fo the bowl) I am so disgusted with this woman.

The reason we fell out was because I wanted to take my toddler to the hairdresser. She thinks it’s wrong to cut his hair.

I want to punish her for all those years she’s made my life hell.

Don’t waste time and effort on punishing her.

Get out of the situation as soon as you can, for yourself and for your child.

Littlepeak34 · 06/03/2020 21:26

Wow leave and don’t look back.

Twillow · 06/03/2020 21:27

Do you live with her?

mathanxiety · 06/03/2020 21:28

Just report and cut contact completely.

netstaller · 06/03/2020 21:28

Get away from her op for your sake and your toddler. Report the incident to social services and get them to do an assessment, you don't have to be her carer or allow her to treat you like that. She's doesn't have to be your responsibility.

JuanSheetIsPlenty · 06/03/2020 21:30

Please report her to the police and never go back there. You owe her nothing. She can sort herself another career. Protect yourself and your child. Please don’t go back.

ddl1 · 06/03/2020 21:30

I would call the police and/or social services immediately. Does she have dementia or a mental illness? Even if so, you cannot be expected to put yourself and possibly your toddler at risk of physical violence. She may need looking after, but not by you.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 06/03/2020 21:32

Flowers. Walk away and Never look back. Mother or not you owe this women nothing. Plus every human being can only take so much. Not only is not fair to you it’s also not fair to your little one. If he’s a toddler he’s old enough to take things in

ddl1 · 06/03/2020 21:32

OK, have read your post: she claims to have dementia and other conditions but may not. Has she always been like this? In any case, there is no point in seeking to punish her; the important thing is to ensure safety for yourself and your child.

GrumpyHoonMain · 06/03/2020 21:33

Contact the police and let them know she assaulted you. Make her MH problems known and that she’s a danger to people around her. Then stop caring for her.

HermioneWeasley · 06/03/2020 21:35

Don’t punish her, don’t let her occupy any more of your mental energy.

Just cut her off and enjoy the freedom. Focus on being an amazing mum to your kids and enjoying the rest of your life.

MarkingTimeIm59 · 06/03/2020 21:35

Do you live independently?

Mammatino · 06/03/2020 21:35

I'm so sorry. What an awful situation. Please take some advice from PP and see what your options are. Do you live with her? She isn't claiming carers allowance for you is she? Cancel anything that she might be doing in your name. No one has a right to attack you this way, you are an adult now and can make your own decisions. Put yourself and your little one first and be the mother she isn't. Take care of yourself.

frumpety · 06/03/2020 21:37

Does she live with you or you with her ? or do you have your own place ?

This is not the sort of environment you need to be in with a small child, if you don't live with her stay away and if you do , you need to get out.
