So when my little brother (5 yr.) is doing his homework and he doesn't do it right my mom gets Really mad and hits him. So I (17 yr.) go and grab him and take him to another room. But sometimes when she hits him he tries to come to me and try to hug him tho mom comes and tell him no or she will hit him.She also gets mad really easily like ex. last year i was passing all my classes and she was getting angry my mom hasn't tried to hitme probably cause if a social worker finds out they take away the full custody my mom has of me and they will make me live with my dad. She says she has problems at work and i get it but sometimes i feel like she tries to get rid of her anger on me and my brother I need help Idk what to do i feel like one day it will get out of hand. Thank you

Hitting like that is not ok. Have you confronted her about this? The best thing for you to do is the next time you see it happening video record it happening. Get someone you trust that is an adult to help you confront your mother. It is good that you take your brother away from that when she is like that. If that doesn't work then it might be good for you to get a social worker involved. These things may not be happening to you but you are still exposed to it and your brother shouldn't be exposed to that. They may just require your mother to get professional help. Regardless it's best if you get help no matter how may feel about your mother and father.
what if the dad isnt in the picture?
