I can't say what I would do if this every happened to me. I know I wouldn't want my children to witness any of that. Your Mom has some serious issues on top of having some psychological issues. I'm not saying that to put your Mom down but the truth is she attacked her daughter, YOU and that is horribly wrong. What do you want to do? Do you want to help your Mom figure out what is happening with herself to make her want to drink and become violent? Do you want too forget about her and move on with your life? Maybe there are other options but those are only two that I can think of. I don't know anything about legalities. I wish you well with your situation.
i dont know what your relationship with your mother was before this so its hard to say. I know that i love my mother like a best friend so even though if she beat me and hurt my child i would try to help her out. I wouldnt let my children near her untill i was sure things were cool. i know i love her enough where it would be important enough to help her through what ever it is she would be going through. Your mother needs help and you can see it. Somtimes its best to forget and try and heal from love other times its best to just let her be and leave it at that. Its sad thing like this happen in life and i wish you good luck with what ever you choose. I hope that things can be fixed. the thought of never talking to my mother and never letting my children near her would really hurt me and i am sure her.
