Re: Money Woes

Eh, don't be sorry, I fully understand where are you coming from. Indeed, parental hitting is kind of normal in this culture (though the parameters of what constitutes mere punishment and what constitutes abuse are really sketchy and vary wildly from household to household; and under the law). I used to get spanked a lot when I was a kid, and as I said, my mom had somewhat of an habit of also throwing stuff at me. Usually shoes. And it was seen as totally normal back then.

However I'm 25 now. By any means, even if I'm living in her house, I'm still an adult and hitting an adult is NOT kosher. I'm not even sure if hitting a teenager is socially acceptable here; but the way she flips out at me, the hurtful things she says, and practicing her aim with me... something's wrong with this picture, I think.

Okay thank God, I'm glad I didn't hurt or offend you. I know that my roommate was smacked up until she was about 16 because she wouldn't wake up at the breakfast table. (Her mom worked full time, but got up every morning to make her children breakfast; when my roommate wouldn't wake up, she would get her hair pulled and get slapped. But even she admitted she was kind of being a bratty asshole, so contextually she was fine with it.)

Still, I'm with you that your mom's behavior isn't acceptable aimed toward an adult. If you have friends in the city, can you spend a week or two, or even a few days living with them instead? That way you and your mom get some space apart, and maybe she'll chill out a bit?
