It's true, though

Today, my mom told me my relationship is a joke, because teenagers don't understand the meaning of relationships and commitment. I couldn't help but remind her how she's divorced three separate men to date. She hit me over the head so hard that snot flew out of my nose. FML

Don't worry about her. She doesn't know anything about your relationship

Could have been worse, she could have knocked the shit out of you.

Sometimes teenagers know more about commitment than their parents.

your mom is just pissed that she couldn't handle the truth

Don't back talk your mom next time

Yeah parents think kids know nothing when acutely they know more than anyone thinks

Respect your mother, since I realize there's no teenager on the planet that knows more than their parents. And consider this a personal victory for yourself, because honestly, I can't really blame you.

Just because someone is older or is a parent, you think they know more? It doesn't matter how long you've been alive. Even if you have more experience, you can't know everything that your child does. You may know things they don't, but it works both ways. You could lean a lot from them. Also, if you want respect, from anyone (even your child), give it in return. Ne soyez pas une chatte juste parce que vous sentez que vous en savoir plus.

I'm sorry you got hit over the head, OP. And I'm also sorry your mom was a dick.

Discouraging the OP (and everyone in similar/worse situations who might be reading this) from reporting this to the police, or blaming her for talking back and thus somehow deserving her mom's assault, is really disturbing. We care so little about our kids, I wonder why we bother raising them. Why not save a ton of money and stress, and just dump them outside with the trash as soon as they pop out? If your parents hit you, talk with a police officer... even if you don't have proof that would stand up in court. In my experience they're actually very happy to talk with people who approach them peacefully/politely with questions... they're used to violent/angry criminals, so you'll be a nice break for them. They will understand if you're a girl and you want to talk to a female officer. They can give you a good picture of what qualifies as child abuse or domestic violence and what options you have. You do have options. Good luck to you.
