That sounds really scary. If you are not feeling safe around your mom, you can always call 911 for help. I don’t know if you are able to talk with your mom about how you feel when she says that, or if there are other adults at home or in your life who can help you.

What should I do if my wife keeps hitting me?

If she ever hits you again, hit her back- harder- then bolt, whether to your room or out of the house, and lock the door behind you. Call someone you trust and let them know of the situation. If no one is available, leave a voicemail and call childline instead; they’ll help you.
