Is it normal to be scared of your mom?
Depends.It depends
It can be normal to feel nervous around your mom sometimes, especially during conflict, but feeling afraid of her often or worrying about being hurt is worth taking seriously. You deserve to feel safe at home.
A lot depends on what “scared” means here. You might feel anxious because she’s strict, gets angry, or you’re expecting a difficult conversation. But if you’re afraid she’ll hurt you, threaten you, or make you feel unsafe, that’s not something you have to brush off as just normal family stuff.
If you can, tell a trusted adult—like a relative, teacher, school counselor, or another safe person—what’s been happening. If you’re in immediate danger, get somewhere safe and contact emergency services or a local crisis service.
