I don’t know what to do…

My life is a mess. I spend all my time pretending to be someone else.
I live in a seemingly normal family. I’ve got a mom a dad and we own are own house. But it’s not normal. My mom is strict and abusive. Sometimes she’s my bff but other times she’s horrible and no matter what I do she takes it out on me. I know I could help the situation by just shutting up and letting her rage for a few hours. But I can’t! I always try to stop her taking it out on her anger me. When she’s mad she usually just yells and says everything I do is horrible and she’s the only one who does anything right but if she’s really mad she’ll try to slap me. She doesn’t do that as much know though I’m stronger than her. But she’ll take it out on me just the same verbally by swearing or making me sound horrible or act like she thinks I act. I would talk to my dad but he believes me sometimes but he doesn’t want her mad at him. And if I don’t do what she asks she screams and takes my stuff away. This is ok except sometimes when I’m doing homework which is the only thing I’m aloud to do on electronics she’ll delete everything I’ve done or turn if off. And I get in trouble at school. Other times she’ll need my help and when I try to show her how to do something she yells at me not to touch anything and to just describe how to do it which for me is impossible. But the worst part is the next day she always pretends like nothing happened and says it’s her fault. I know I’m not a bad kid because I get goods grades and don’t smoke or swear or do drugs. But I still think it’s my entire fault! I’m just not good enough! And I sometimes want to run away and die.
PLEASE HELP ME! AND THANKS FOR LISTENING.
