since i was in the 6th grade my mom has constantly hit me and swore at me, now she has progressed on to threatening to kill me. When I was younger, i wouldn't respond back,I would just go to my room and cry silently (which i would then be made fun of for.) Now I say the exact same things she says to me,back to her. It helps because it feels like I'm not holding anything back. Am i wrong for doing this??
My mom is abusive?

Well you should always respect your elders instead of biting back as that won't help anything. Sit down with her and tell her, in a calm fashion, how you feel and that you don't like the things she says to you. If she does happen to actually threaten you with a weapon and looks like she is in the mood to actually physically harm you, then the police is only one phone call away. :) Hope this helped.
You should always stand up for yourself, but you also need to make sure you are safe. There are other outlets for you to use: journaling, counseling, reaching out to another family member or adult in your life etc. In order to assure you remain in a healthy state (just remember that if you do reach out for outside help, this might mean your mom will find herself in some trouble). I understand she is your mother but no one should treat you so poorly and make you feel small, good luck friend.
