Child abuse?

Question

I feel really dumb asking about this but I'm 15 soon to be 16 and I did something stupid. I gave myself a tattoo. (Which I love and don't regret at all) I told my mom about it two weeks ago and she shrugged it off but today she found it and lost her mind. She rightfully took all my electronics and I sat around and let things cool down a bit. I started watching a movie with her and she randomly got mad and pulled my hair. Hard. And she stood up calling me dumb and retarded while kicking my shins. 
She also goes on rants 24/7 about how horrible my dad is for leaving. And how she can't find work, all of her life problems she screams at me. Most of which she will blame me for. If I show any signs Or try to speak about my depression she says I'm trying to steal attention from her.

Would this be child abuse and do I say something? Who would I tell? What should I expect if I told someone about this stuff?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is abuse. Tell someone you know and trust, like a teacher or family friend. Or go to the police.

This is never okay.

Answer

Yes, its abuse. Make sure you tell someone, you need to stay safe from the harm she can do to you.
None of her problems are your fault, she is an adul and you're a child.

Also please consider the dangers to your health before you tattoo yourself, you may not regret it now but one day you probably will.

Answer

I don't always believe teenaged because when I was a teen I saw shit I wanted to see and called my mom abusive. Now that I'm a mother I see it as just being a mother. 
If your not exaggerating, or lying about it just because ur upset ur in trouble. Then yes, it's abuse.
Ask her why she treats u this way

Answer

I think you should speak to your mom and let her know if she doesn't stop her behavior you will report it to the authorities. Do not approach her alone, take a family member you trust that can intervene if it gets out of hand. If she doesn't listen then you should speak to someone you trust who can help you get out of the situation. Don't tattoo yourself, it can be dangerous and lead to infections so be careful.

Answer

Sounds like she's going through something and is taking her aggression out on you. 
She may be unaware of how bad her behaviour truly is.

I would first try talking to her. 
:( 
So sorry love 
❤️

Answer

It doesn't matter if you tattooed your face what she did is definitely not okay!

I have a daughter and I cannot imagine treating her that way.

Please talk to someone, she needs help.

Answer

Yes, that's abuse. It sounds like she may be mentally ill. Regardless, talk to someone you trust asap.

Answer

If you wanted to move away from your mum you can speak to someone at school, explain the issues it's causing etc or if you wanted something anonymous you can talk to childline and they keep everything 100% private, hope everything turns out okay Hun. Been in this situation before and it does get the Best of you but just distance yourself and don't give her the anger she wants back.

Answer

Yes it's abuse. Do not saying anything to her or ask why. Call the abuse hotline, police or CPS. Your mom needs counselling

Answer

First things first, girl I'm sooo sorry you need to tell someone. That is abuse and abuse is never okay!
