today my mother was yelling at me after she had got home work. we had a yelling fit, she came up to me and slap me in the face. she said something to me after that... something that pains me...

A mother... telling their child that he is unwanted, and one more mishap, he will be kicked outof the house... it is always my father that yells at us and tells us to leave... but never my mother... she never once said that to me, or my brother before... never.... until today.
as soon as the words left her mouth, i knew i was unwanted... and even now she is yelling at me... to go to bed, when it is 10:45... and i dont go to bed until midnight.. she is just doing things to me that pisses me off... so that she can kick me out.

so i'm in the middle of thinking about leaving or staying... i seriously have no ******** clue what to do anymore...

You're too young to leave. Unless you get emanicipated.
It's best for you to stay put.

If this happens a lot, it might be a good idea to leave. If there's a friend or family member you could live with, of course. It's not a good idea to run away or try to make it on your own.

It will be difficult for you to make it on your own, unless you turn 18 and have either a full-time, well-paying job, or have some friends you can get an apartment with.

I don't know if your mother REALLY doesn't want you, but I'm not one to say. She might be just reflecting what your father does to get out your anger. You may be right in that she's doing it to try and get you to leave. One thing that I do know, though, is it's never right to inflict violence on another person... especially someone's own son or daughter.

You may want to consider talking to a counselor at school, or seeing if you can stay with a friend for awhile. If not, you could try and anonymously talk with someone at child protective services, although being placed in a foster home can be just as bad, if not worse, than the situation you're in now.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you, and while my mom has done similar behavior to me, I have always just grinned and beared it. It's somewhat comforting to know that -someday,- I CAN move out and won't have to put up with her s**t anymore. I imagine it's harder since neither of your parents want you there... my dad wants me to stay at least. Whenever my mom gets like that I read all that I can about mood disorders, and then I realise that she's the one that's really messed up, not me. wink
