Toying with me in a bad way

I’ll give you the advice that my mother gave me when I was having the same type of problem.. you have to stand up for yourself.. I’m not saying beat the hell out of the person who’s hitting you, although if it were another male I’d say hit him back.. I’m saying that if she’s hitting you with a folder or whatever, you simply ask her.. “are we in kindergarten or what?.. if you like me you don’t have to hit me.. you could ask me out and I could say no without the headache”.. shrug off the hit but hit her with witty remarks.. guaranteed the others will be laughing at her instead of you cause she got dissed and dismissed.. I don’t know what it is that your mom is getting angry about, other that stupid stuff, so I can’t give you any “good” advise on that one.. especially without knowing your mom.. however, if it really is just stupid stuff she gets angry about.. figure out exactly what it is that angers her and try to not do or say it.. that usually solves the problem.. or when she starts yelling, say something like “can we talk about this rationally and calmly?”.. that usually gets brownie points if its not said sarcastically because it makes you seem mature enough to handle the “grown up” conversation
