I don't know what to think.
My niece came over for a three day sleep over, and yesterday, we went on a bike ride with my mom,
And I sarcastically went:
"How are you two not out of breath?
I'm like. Ueaghghha."
And my mom just changed.
"Alright, well, lets go home then." She said it like she was REALLY mad.
And I was already in tears by the time we were at home.
She sent me inside, and ALMOST Got to the road with my niece, but stormed inside and started YELLING.
YELLING AT ME.
She said DONT CRY
And HOW do you NOT cry when she's saying the most hurtful things?
She threatened to slap me silly, and she'd slap me if I didn't stop crying,
and I believed her.
She NEVER has Shown to be abusive, but this time was just the worst.
After a shout craze, she left.
And came back.
And shouted more.
And I said, I WILL NOT GO.
Because She'd get mad at me, because all I would do is cry.
About thirty seconds later, she comes back in,
Still yelling, she told me to wipe my nose and get out there.
I resisted slightly,
and then she GRABBED my shoulders.
As tight as possible, and I was in full panic, I screamed.
She pushed me into the bathroom and closed the bathroom door.
I had three minutes to get ready.
When I came out, she walked up to me and told me to tell no one.
But I can't.
I want to tell my sister,
but I can't.
She'll talk to my mom about it, and I'll get in more trouble.
I just wonder if she's Bipolar.
She's not apologizing, and I've apologized like six times.
I just know I'm at fault, but not THAT at fault.
My niece asked If I was the one who screamed, and I told her I just got really mad and shouted at her.
I just don't know what to do..
Thanks for reading.
Well, first of all, none of this is your fault. You did nothing wrong, and even if you did, it doesn't make this right.
Try to lay low until your niece leaves, don't do anything to annoy your mom, and for the most part stay out of her way. Your niece will only be there for another day or so right? After that try and talk to your mom, tell her how upset her yelling at you makes you feel, and that you're sorry for ruining the bike ride, but that you were just joking, and didn't think they'd stop it for you. And that when she grabbed your shoulders it really scared you. Tell her you're really sorry, but she really upset you after.
It's unfair of her to tell you that you can't tell anyone, how can you not?
Try to talk it out with her, and if you're niece is going to be there for longer, just find a time that you and your mom can be alone, and ask to talk to her. If talking to her doesn't fix it, then tell your sister, but make her promise not to tell your mom yet.
Good luck, I hope things turn out ok for you
