Child Abuse(Not About Me)

my mother screams and shouts, while i hide under my bed she comes in my room and finds me, and angrily beats me in the head. she says im always bad and i never do my chores and she says when im dead shell be glad cause she wont have to worry about me anymore i see the anger in her eyes as she beats me, and tells me she wished i would die when i think about all these bad memories it only makes me cry im always scared to talk to her cause i know i will get hurt but, i wasnt sure how...stab, hit, or burnt? but, thankfully my teachers care, and turned my mother in so now my new life can begin. sometimes i think my mother cared, but then i wake up and realize that the love was never there. now im all grown up and i lived through it all. but i still dont understand why she put me through it all.
