My mom abuses me and my sister

[Guest]

For years now my mother has been using whatever she could find in and out of the house to beat me and my little sister. She uses shoes, belts, sticks, books, rulers and she will sometimes throw things at me. My mom also curses at us a lot, she uses the f word a lot, and calls us names like idiot, unless, stupid, and dumb. a couple weeks ago our room was messy and my mother gave us two minutes to clean it and that was obviously not enough time to finish. so she went outside and brought in a pile of sticks and said for everything i find on the ground that is a beating. So we both ended up with cuts and bruises at the end of the day. Another time was when i didn't finish my homework in aftercare. When I got home she asked me why i didn't finish my homework and I said i didn't have enough time. Then she said don't give me that bull******** then she went outside and brought in some firewood, and i got beaten over and over again until each of the logs broke. she then kicked me out of the house then told me to come back in then she dragged me by my hair up the stairs. Another time was when she threw me on the bathroom flooring started kicking and stepping on me, and it was right before school so i had to tell my friends that i just slipped and fell. I try to talk to my mom about all of this but she just get triggered and tells me to get of her sight. I don't know what to do but i want it to stop, Ive even tried running away. I hope i can get away from her. Im afraid of telling my counselor because my mom will find out so i hope this will help in some way.
