Don't stay around and let him hit you! You are allowed to call the police. Don't put yourself in danger. Is your Mom around when he does this? Who can you go stay with? Do you have a friend who's house you can stay at for awhile? Tell one of your friends Mom and Dad. Tell someone... anyone!
Call the kids help hotline! They might be able to help you, and give you a safe place to go in your area.
Are you okay Cody? I see you're still online. Answer if you can okay?
Cody! So glad you posted here on the site. You have come to the right place for emotional support and advice. However, we cannot give you the physical protection from being hit. Starbuck8 gave some solid suggestions! I hope you will choose one of her suggestions.
You have given us very little information about yourself and your situation. Perhaps when you are online again, you could fill in some gaps for us. As Starbuck8 asked, I too am wondering your age now. Have you visited with your mother about what is going on? Does the boyfriend hit you both in the same time frame or does he hit your mom at times and you at other times. I ask this because I wonder if your mother knows you are being hit. If not, she needs to be made aware of this.
Another question I have is this:
Does the boyfriend live with you and your mother or come to visit only?
I realize that I have asked some of the same questions Starbuck8 was wondering about but just hoping you will give us more information. She is right, running away will only make matters worse but seeking help and possibly staying with relatives or friends until this can be dealt with, is a great idea.
Please keep us informed but I do suggest you visit with your mother about this and if she is not supportive of you, then reach out for help and don't stop until someone does something to make the hitting stop and where you can feel safe.
Please keep us updated. There are so many people on this site that care so deeply and will want to be here for you any way we can. Best to you Cody! Again, please post again so we will know you are okay!
Great advice Starby! :pQuote:

Hope he comes back online and shares a bit more.
Yes running away will only make it worst, the find you and send you back, then no one will believe you are well if you tell them.
When it happens, call the police, tell a teacher or counselor the next day
