Be very strong. It is your mums choice to be with this man but not yours so if life becomes too unbearable then you will have to keep telling your mum that you are not happy and maybe together you could look at the alternatives of living elsewhere. Who knows who is right about this man and maybe not enough time was allowed for your mum to adjust to being single before this happened or maybe this man will be her lifelong partner. This is about you though and you need to source help if you are not happy. One word of advice though and that is if this man is not harmful to you and your mum then why not give him a chance first. If after a few months you still have worries then it is likely that the situation wont change and it will need sorting out. I wish you well. xx

If shes getting abused, that’s nothing personal that u dislike him, it has a reason, so, don’t feel guilty. If he’s an abuser, you’re not suposed to like him, of curse. But, let your mother know how you feel about it; and let her feel loved for u, and tell her how serious is this for u. She maybe thinking this a normal situation. may be she saw her mother been abused, too. So, talk to her, and try the thing as it is. A problem. Violence is not normal.
