I'm almost 20 and my mum hits me all the time?

PLEASE DONT PUT THIS IN THE ABUSE &A section. I'll get more responses here. Its urgent

So, I come from an east african background ,im 19 and a girl.I live with my single mother and 4 younger siblings. I recently started uni and although im still living at home, I've made friends (I never used to have friends before uni so never went out) and like to go out and socialise (not party). I went bowling yesterday with my friends and my mum knew about this before I went. She started blowing up my phone around 9pm asking me to comr home and insulting me saying im probably not bowling and doing something else with the 'bad friends' ive made at uni (she hasnt even seen them let alone met them) and when i came home at around 10.45 (my house is so far from the area we were at) she started beating me with a hanger whilst keep asking 'where i really went' After a while I exploded and told her i was ****ing sick of being treated like a child and that i would get married so i could leave this ****hole (cant move till married for cultural reasons) And asked why my bro whos 18 comes home at 2am sometimes never gets beaten. When she left, my little sister came into my room and I vented to her and so did she. Little did we know my mum was listening. She came in and asked why we were 'insulting her' and that she does everything for us and then started crying :/ I couldnt stop wondering WHY. What should I do? Im sick of getting hit everytime i do something wrong
Pah, another thread eh?

Difficult situation dude, but I think domestic issues are best dealt with by talking to the parties involved...

Maybe your mother was simply venting out her anger on you? Or maybe she has no one to talk to about her worries since she's a single mother? Regardless of what it is, it's not fair on her to beat you, or to suffer alone (if she is indeed suffering)

Maybe sit down, just the two of you, and talk about things? Tell her how her treatment makes you feel (but also reassure her of how much you love her!)

Good luck~
