I fight with my mum all the time, although it's mostly just little spats. My mum is the kind of person who gets stressed really easily, and so often yells at anyone who is in the vicinity. And I don't like it, obviously. But I try not to argue with her, because I know it's just stress. I don't take it personally. We have had quite a few bigger fights over the years, but it has never turned into anything physical. Just yelling, and then ignoring each other for a week or so. Although I really don't like fights, I think fighting is a very important thing in any relationship. Fighting is simply a means of expressing contrasting opinions, and hopefully, by the time the fight is over, each person understands the other's opinion a bit more. Even if they don't agree, agreeing to disagree is also okay. However, sometimes there are just things you don't like about a person, so sometimes you just have to accept that. Over the years I've had quite a few fights with my mum about homosexual relationships. I'm not a homosexual myself, but I have friends who are, so I find the topic really important to me. Through having these fights with her, she's become a lot more accepting than she was previously. And that's because it was a topic we constantly fought about over the course of multiple years. And through this, my opinion got heard, and she understands a bit more. That being said, I don't think physical fights are that great. If it's a 'challenge' type of thing, for example, two guys throwing fists at each other to prove a point, then that's fine. But one person beating up someone else? Not cool. That's not good at all. As I mentioned, arguments are essential for having your voice heard. For others to understand your opinion, and for you to understand theirs. But physical fights don't do that. It just causes pain for everyone involved.

Fighting is inevitable at some time or so, naturally. Creepy your situation is not unique but unhealthy. You are 18 move away and never leave a forwarding address for your mail, update your address with businesses you trade with directly(stops a lot of junk mail too). Get a pre-paid cell and go ghost and enjoy your life free of toxic individuals who will hold you back in life. Sometimes distance changes ones perspective and you might yet make peace with your mom one day. Be safe and good luck.

Well at least you're old enough on paper to move away with no major repercussions since you're now legally an adult if your situation is bad enough to the point where you feel it's necessary. Arguing is going to happen in any family, but if it gets to an unhealthy enough degree, steeper steps like counseling or moving out might be the next best thing. I'd say look into moving in with some friends and/or look at different colleges if you can.

I argued a lot with my grandparents, but it's a part of life. It's okay to argue, but if you do it too much it causes problems. Besides, I was probably acting like a jackass anyway

I have Russian parents and Russian parents are craycray. We fought a lot and I was thrown out the house on multiple occasions and locked in my room without food for a few days on other occasions. I remember my mum once threw a bowl full of porridge right in my face because I was late for school and didn't want to eat it, lmao. Went to school with a bruised lip and had to explain to everyone that I "fell down". My mum also loved throwing cups after me... But all of that cooled down after I moved out. I guess we just couldn't stand being on top of each other every day. Looking back I don't really hold it against my parents because it did toughen me up and I can handle stressful situations better.. And I'm better at lying. I think it's normal to argue with your parents sometimes. If you're the type of kid that says "Amen" to everything your parents say I would be worried more.

Arguments happen, it's what you do about them that matters. Everyone has argued with thier parents/legal guardians, it's bound to happen. Now though, you're eighteen and the ball is in your court. Don't like the situation? Find a better one. Good luck.

My family fights a lot. But not with me. I feel like i am the one holding it together. Whenever someone argues with me i usually gives a logic answer so they can't counter it.

I argued with my mother mostly and my father every year or so, often i usually ignored them and went on about my own business; i was raised in a home of discipline and duty, wake and do your chores; make sure the house was clean and etc. but my mother was extremely ignorant and often displayed false discipline upon me and my siblings, whilst my father always had a reason and a lesson afterwards, both of my parents i respect and love deeply; regardless of what they put you through, Family is family and i remember times when family was all i had. but even so yes an argument or a disagreement with your family is common and healthy; even so for me... i consider myself disciplined so i always hear what they have to say first and then say my half. but even so i believe that my parents raised me as best they could; i'm going to succeed where they didn't and be a better father to my children then my father was,(Even he was an ideal father figure) I'm going to be better.
