My mother is an abuser. I have been told by friends on another board that I should seek a womens shelter. My mother goes into rages sometimes and besides the fact that I don't feel safe around her when she's like that I don't need to be around her for my mental health.. I feel silly calling an abuse hotline because I am 29 and my mother is abusing me. I don't know what to do. I don't know if they have ever had a situation like this before. In my area a mother killed her son and herself not too long ago because.. among other things I would imagine the main reason was reported in the newspaper that she could no longer take the financial stress he was causing her. I am trying to be self sufficient and finished school and am in the process of trying to find a job but I would like to know theres somewhere safe that I could go. And no friends don't exactly get it.. and my family doesn't either. They just laugh it off.
