My mum viscously attacked me today

[exhauated101]

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.

Walk away and never go back. Cancel any carers' allowance you get, notify SS that you aren't doing it any more and never speak to her again.

If you live with her, report her to the police and seek housing help from the council, on the grounds of her violence. I think that doing anything other than leaving and cutting her off completely will lead to an escalation of violence and huge problems for your child (who may well be her next target) and you.

I really hope you find the strength to break contact permanently. Be aware she may well come crawling back, saying sorry, etc when she realises she risks you stopping contact. Don’t be fooled by this.

It’s time to cut her out of your life. Alert social services that you’ll no longer be caring for her due to abuse. I hope you don’t change your mind because it’s not healthy for your child to witness this behaviour or have a granny like that that mistreats their mum

This makes me very sad. She sounds like a malignant narcissist.....exactly the same as my mother was. Unfortunately she'll never change. I'd suggest you go no contact....for the sake of you and your son. Her needs are not your problem....you have your own family to think of now.

get as far away from her as you possibly can, give yourself time to process everything and then decide if you want to take any action against her, but never ever go back or engage with her again

This is abuse. You need to get you and your child away from her.

Please walk away from her forever, stop being her carer send her a resignation letter.

It sounds like she needs help and support but you are not in a position to provide this.

Do you have anywhere else to go? If you do then go there, if not go to a hotel if at all possible and phone Housing dept at the local council on Monday. If not then phone the local council number tonight and see what they can do.

Also phone Social Services and let them know that can no longer provide care. If she has had Social Services involvement this bit should be easier but if she hasn't then still do it.

Your priority is your daughter. Others can pick up the care of your Mum.

Of course it will be hard and you will go through all sorts of emotions but right now you need to protect your daughter first and worry about your relationship with your mum second.

Stop being her Carer and walk away

Thankyou for the advice everyone, just a quick update I have had zero contact with her since this incident and I am no longer her carer, much happier now

Thank you for the update. Made up you’re okay. X

Good for you. X

Great news, well done

How horrible, I hope you are ok. Xxx

Well done OP

Pleased for you, a hard decision to make but the one that's best for you and your child. Well done.
