If a mother hits her kid is it abuse, across the face Im 17 and my mom just hit me and I dont know what to think other than have been crying my eyes out. And my dad doesnt even care about me:'(
hard slap across the face, she just got angry because my bf doesnt like her becayse she doesnt stop the guyz that try to come into my bedroom, and pick my lock when im sleeping, Hes sick of it. and doesnt like her for not stopping the drunk guyz that come over
Its sexual assalt ive been dealing with at my house and my bf hates it because my 19 year old sister and mom go out to the bar and end up at our house with them, and yeah.. Thats why he hates her for not stoping them. Last time the cops showed up
I don't really understand this post but you're a minor and if you're misbehaving and disrespectful then your mother has every right to slap you across the face.
Nobody should be hit above the neck, period. In fact if people are abusing this person and she 'talks back' I think just maybe she has a right to talk back, don't you? How's about waiting for the rest of the story before judging?

The location of the hit is irrelevent. Some will say parents do or don't have the right.
I told my mom to go to hell once when I was 16. She pushed me into the bathtub and ripped the towel rack off the wall so that she had something to hit me with. It's the only time she hit me and she hit me hard but looking back, I deserved it! I'm glad she stood up to me and didn't let me push her around. I don't think what my mother did was "abuse". She'd just had enough of my teen bs and let me know it the only way she could because I was too self important to listen when she tried to work things out with me.
It sounds to me like your mom slapped your face for a reason. And the fact that you're shocked and asking about it tells me that it doesn't happen all the time. So, WHAT DID YOU DO TO DESERVE IT?
I wonder if maybe you're not focusing on the real issue. And I wonder if this post is just you feeling sorry for yourself because you didn't get your way. It's easier to get attention from people in a forum than to suck it up and fix your life.
No offense.

NOBODY 'deserves' to be hit with a towel bar. That's so screwed up, it's hardly imaginable. Your mother could have chosen any number of ways to discipline you that didn't involve losing it that way. All you did was tell her to go to hell, for heaven's sakes!
I feel very very sorry for people who think that a minor infraction like that 'earns' violent reaction. THAT IMHO is the reason society is screwed up - that people think violence is a perfectly acceptable response to issues.
My mother hit my sister across the face ONCE in her entire life.
My sister, who was supposed to be watching my then-toddler-aged brother, allowed him to wander off and fall into a swimming pool. The only reason he is alive today is because a neighbor saw it happen and saved him.
When my mother found out, she screamed at my sister.
My sister screamed back defensively and told me mother to stop 'bitching' at her.
My mother kerwalloped her across the face.
Was it the proper mode of discipline? No.
Was it justifiable? Yes.
Think of your baby son almost drowning because your sullen, teen daughter decides to neglect him.
What disturbs me is that kids can now call CPS and say their parents hit them and get removed from the house immediately.
While I DON'T CONDONE ABUSE......I do think the system is also being abused.
To the OP:
I don't know why your mom hit you.
I don't know the circumstances.
Certainly, it is wrong to hit other people. And if it continues to happen, then maybe you have an abuse case on your hands.
If this is an isolated incident, I'd try to talk to your mom when she's calm and see if you can work things out rationally.
You are almost an adult, not a child. Try to think things through logically and see if you can find out what drove her to this behavior.
If you really truly in your heart of hearts believe you are being abused, talk to guidance counselor at school about it.
Just posting here is not going to give you all the answers

No can't blame the parents for trying to disciplining the child she said she deserved it and she knows she shouldn't have said what she did !! That is disrespect to her mother and she needed a wake up call don't agree with her beating her with the towel rack she could have went a different route but maybe she had had it !! Don't know till you are in this situation!!My mom smacked me in the mouth one time because i was back talking i never did it again !! She didn't smack hard it was more like a pop enough to know i better not do that again..

i do not agree how she is acting not setting a example for you or your sister!! As for the men coming in your room your mother shouldn't be letting that happen for that matter bringing strange men home she barely even knows !!
