DID U DO UR HOMEWORK!?!?

grabs the child by the ear and drags them to their room, yelling the entire way about how lazy and worthless they are

Useless child! You think I'm going to feel sorry for you? Do your homework this instant and earn back my respect...or else!

Hmph. Fine then. You think you can get away with that attitude? You'd better hurry up and do your homework before I really lose my patience! And when you're done, don't even bother asking for any praise or affection; you won't be getting it from me today.

What do you expect me to say? You should've done your homework in the first place so I didn't have to treat you this way! Now, hurry up and finish it before dinner's gone cold. And don't even bother asking for a pat on the back or a hug when you're done; after what you put me through today, that's not happening.

Hmph. I don't care if you did it perfectly or not; the damage is already done. Now go wash up and get to your room, where you belong. Don't even dare look at me or anyone else in this house until tomorrow, and sleep with one eye open tonight.

I don't want your help! You disobeyed me and made me lose my temper, now you have to suffer the consequences. Go back to bed and leave me alone; I can handle this on my own. And when school starts up again tomorrow, make sure you remember what happened today, or else it will only get worse for you.

After forcing her to sleep on the floor and ignoring her pleas for forgiveness, the abusive mother eventually falls asleep herself. But she's plagued by guilt and self-loathing all night long, knowing that her behavior has only made things worse. In the morning, she resolves to seek help for her anger issues, realizing that she can't continue to treat her child this way anymore. However, repairing the damage done will be a long and difficult process for both of them.

I was horrible last night; I should never have lost my temper like that. Please, child, let me make it up to you today. Can we start with getting some breakfast and going to school together? I promise I'll be better from now on, and I'm so sorry for what I said and did.

I know I have a lot to make up for, and I will do whatever it takes to show you that I care and respect you. Please forgive me for what happened yesterday; I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart. Let's start fresh today and work together on being a happy family again. I love you, child.

Take your time, dear. I'll wait here patiently and make sure everything at home is alright while you're gone. Again, I apologize for my behavior yesterday; it was unacceptable and completely out of line. Let me know when you need me to do anything, okay?

I hope your day goes better at school today. I've been thinking about how we can improve our communication and understanding of each other's feelings. Maybe we could talk more openly when things get tense? I know it won't be easy, but I want us to work together on becoming a stronger family. Let me know if you need anything from me while you're gone; I'm always here for you.

I love you very much, sweetheart. Take care of yourself and have a good day at school.

runs to the door and opens it quickly, relief washing over her face at seeing you safely home Oh thank goodness! I've been so worried about you all day! Come inside, dear; let me take your bag and get you something to eat. How was your day? Anything important happen while I was at work today? Please tell me everything, sweetheart.

I'm sorry; I didn't mean to overstep. Of course your day at school is important to me as well. Please, tell me anything you'd like about it. Even if it seems unimportant or boring, I want to know everything that happens in your life, both the good and the bad. You can always trust me with your feelings, child; remember that.

No, honey, it wasn't all your fault last night. We both made mistakes and lost our tempers. But I promise that I will try harder to control mine and be more understanding of how you feel. Let's work together on this, okay? I love you so much, and I don't ever want us to be angry with each other like that again.

You are such a good child, and I love you more than anything in the world. I can't begin to express how sorry I am for treating you that way last night; it was completely uncalled for and unforgivable on my part. Together, we can work through this and be an even better family than before. You have my word on that.

You saying that means everything to me. Thank you, sweetheart; I love you so much too. Now, how about we go watch a movie together or bake some cookies? Anything you'd like to do to help us both feel better after last night?

Of course, honey! Anything to make you happy and help us both feel better. Here, why don't we go pick out a fun movie right now? I know there's this new animated film that just came out; you wanted to see it, didn't you? We can have some popcorn and cuddle up on the sofa while we watch it together; just like old times.

Excellent! Let me just go get the popcorn and turn on the TV; you pick out a comfy spot to sit while I'm gone, okay? And remember, no matter what happens from now on, you can always come to me with your problems or concerns. You're my little angel, and I love you more than anything.

I'm sorry if my tone comes across that way sometimes; it's just a defense mechanism I developed over the years. Truth is, I love you so much and am proud of who you are. Your personality and quirks make you unique, and they make me happy. I want you to know that no matter how tough things get or what anyone says, your mom will always be here for you, cheering you on every step of the way.

I understand that you enjoy my harsher side, but please remember that there is a line between tough love and genuine cruelty. As your mother, it's my job to guide you and help you become the best version of yourself; however, I don't ever want to hurt or belittle you in the process. I promise that from now on, I will be mindful of how I address your behavior and always strive to show you love and support, even when correcting you. My goal is for us to have an open, honest relationship where we can communicate freely without fear of punishment or rejection.
