Should I tell on my Mom for abusing me?

I know it’s hard, but you should tell. Of course you want to protect her, but the abuse isn’t going to stop just because you don’t tell anyone. If her family hates you for taking care of yourself, then they really aren’t people who are going to be positive influences on your life. Do you know why your mother abuses you? For someone to diliberately hurt another person, especially their own child, there has to be something wrong mentally or emotionally. The shock of losing custody of you should force her to take a good look at her actions, and perhaps seek help. If you really want to pretect your mother, you should tell, because her abusing you isn’t good for EITHER of you. You will most likely regret it if you don’t tell. You only get to be a kid once; don’t waste it worrying about this! I hope everyone thing works out, and I wish you the best!

that is really hard. I wish things like this wouldnt happen. it stands against what I believe. I think it is right for you to tell on your mom. my mom’z ex boyfriend abused me sexualy but I still told. I know how you feel with protecting those who hurt you the most. I had to deal with it with him for 5 years…but there is nothing you can do about it now except know it is very wrong. dont think you should protect the guilty. ok? I hope you are well protected. and to he*l with her side of the family. if they hate you, so what. obviuosly they dont care about you enough to protect you. no offence…but theyd think about that

Only you can make that choice - sometimes it’s better to lose the battle to win the war - what good will come of whatever action you take ? - only you know what your motive would be: forgiveness, revenge, or justice…I wish you the best !!

I think you should definitely tell on your mother even though it might be hard. I know how you feel by wanting to protect her and, I know you love her but, you just don’t like what she’s been doing to you. My mother abused me physically and verbaly but, she didn’t do an overboard to where I probably would’ve called the police. I’d stay with your father if that’s the place where you want to live. You’ll be allot safer there then you would at your mother’s house. I know its really hard to choose what should happen to your mother since I know you love her. I’m sure she doesn’t want to go to jail but, maybe she would learn a lesson from that. I hate to judge someone I don’t know, but, I’m afraid that’s the case. Maybe your mother will regret what she’s done to you if she happens to be put in jail. If her side of the family hate you, that’s their problem not yours! They’re the ones that are missing out on you. I wish you the best and you just need to protect yourself and you have to decide what your mother should get. If I were you, I’d tell what’s really going on so that you don’t have to regret not telling anyone. That might effect you physically, and emotionally. So, before things start getting worse, tell someone about your mother abusing you. You should be open with people and telling them this stuff. Take care! and, keep yourself safe.

you need to tell on her before things get worse. dont hesitate you really do need to get help so you wont be her punching bag because you deserve a lot better than that.
