22F got physical assaulted by mother, police didn’t do anything.
Earlier today, I was in the kitchen to making fruit juice, my mother saw me and aggressively took the oranges and told me it isn’t mine. I told her that this is a joint family household which comes in our ancestral property, so everything legally belongs to the family. I took back the fruit back and started cutting them. She started threatening me, calling me a slut and I told her "if you don’t like it, go to the court for property division" And than she just snapped and slapped me hard. I told her not to be violent with me as I will fight back. To which she got extremely angry and tried to hit me again but this time I tried to hold her hand and fought back in self-defense, but she picked up objects and hit me with them. I want to mention that she weighs 70kg while I am only 40kg.
I remember tryna pick up something for help and she started slamming me into stuff. Even tried to pick up a cup and throw it on me. It broke on my side as I was constantly fighting back. She was holding my hair pulling it hard and I did the same.
I told her to let go of me and I will do the same but she told me first I have to. I just wanna mention that she used to hit me as a child too a lot. So I knew if I let go, she will just completely overpowered me and pin me down. So I said I won’t let go until you won’t let go and tried break free.
In the end she finally let go of me and I told her I will call the police. By this time my whole body was completely shaking and blood was coming from my nose and hands while her hair was the only messed up thing.
The first thing I did was call 112 and asked them for assistance, what should I do to file charges? They told me to give me my address and will send someone. When police officers arrived, they sat down, completely dismissed the physical assault as a "family matter," and stated that even at the police station nothing would happen except for more talks.
Right after the officers left, my mother gave explicit death threats, stating she would kill me and poison my food. I have intact audio recordings of the death threats and clear photo proof of my bleeding injuries. I am currently trying to figure out my next legal steps. What do I even do?? The whole family is like “she won’t do it anymore just be in your room”.Everytime we had fights, she would cut off my access to food, lock up the kitchen and won’t talk. She uses me not being corporative = “I cut ties with you” = “let me make sure you don’t get access to food/ feel constantly anxious until you apologize”. As a child I literally couldn’t do anything. But now I want to do something. I don’t mind going far away but I will take my legal right over my ancestral property. Everyone is downplaying it. She literally gave me the death threats that all I am after is money extortion and I told her I won’t be exploited and give up my birth right. I am fine leaving this entire family but then I will ask for my rightful part in the ancestral property/ farmland that my mother keeps 100% of the money from.
