If someone asks you to come over after they hit you, do you do it?

Question

She wants me to come over and talk it out.
I'm not sure, after what I saw yesterday I think she'd be capable of murdering me.

Updates:

10 d

I'm giving it a go.
I agreed to meet up tomorrow because she doesn't want to talk over the phone.

9 d

Actually it went very well.
We talked a lot and she even cooked dinner, I didn't think she was capable of cooking.
She let me go only after midnight and we talked about having more dinners like this.
I hope it's a sincere change of pace and not just something temporary.

If someone's struck you in anger, something's seriously wrong with them.
You need to see a counselor together to work this out.
Abusive people always promise they'll never do it again and they always DO IT AGAIN.
Do not trust words. Trust actions.

Jean-Marie ANYONE who WANTS SOMETHING FROM YOU, i. e., your MOTHER who wants MONEY from you, will try to manipulate you into thinking she's changed her stripes.
DO NO BE FOOLED BY THIS ACTION.
Add up the total times she's transgressed and overstepped boundaries with you. How many times? How many times over money?
Why haven't you discussed THIS with her.
What are your limits?
You're with a woman you're about to marry. You shouldn't be giving your mother ANY MONEY AT ALL unless you're a rich man. Since you are not, she has to fend for herself. She's, what, in her 40s? Why is she constantly mooching off you?
There is something sincerely wrong with your mother. I can't determine what it is. But she appears to expect you to support her. You're 23, goddammit! That's a ridiculous expectation.
Your mother is overbearing and my guess is she's a people user. Always has been and always will be.
Mark my words.

At this point I'm willing to give her the money she needs, if she keeps this behavior and doesn't snob me or mistreat me.
We aren't exactly rich but I'm getting a lot of money as of late and my fiancée is wealthy, so I guess I can give something regularly to my mother since I would just put it away anyways.
My mother is in her early 40s and could work, but since she reacts negatively when I tell her I have stopped telling her to find herself a job.

OK. It's your choice. But she's lazy and you're supporting her being so. I don't understand that. And she's HIT you. WHy are you allowing such abuse? WHy are you letting her get away with this?

No. I went out with crazy woman who used to hit me and abuse me. She was abused as a kid and had a hard life. I think she was bipolar or something too because she only did it every three or four weeks. I used to hold onto her and try to restrain her. I would never hit a woman. Once she got away from me and fell down and hit her head. It was bleeding pretty good and I was afraid to call an ambulance. Fortunately I got the bleeding to stop and she was really calm after that. Afterwards I talked her into seeing a therapist. We broke up but I guess therapy helped her because she has a pretty normal life now.

who, what, where, why when? male or female? With you, I assume female... you don't associate with males.

We really need your life turned into a video "soap opera". You'd get a lot of viewers.

hitting is touching and tension. tension precursor to intimacy.

if it's your girlfriend yes. Otherwise, no... you'll end up horizontal.

If you don't like your girlfriend, leave, take a break. then startup new. don't jump one to another.

go talk it out if you can, maybe do it in a neutral place and try to get to the real issues. You aren't her therapist and at this point, you both need help to put the pieces back together. but your situation is unlike anything I've ever dealt with. you really need someone in your "corner" to help. I hope you know a loving god! if not, find one.

Assuming I was willing to listen & talk things out at all I would insist on meeting in a well-lit public place with people around. A mall food court comes to mind. I would also tell others where I'm going & when I expect to return.

I would be very leery of going to the person's home, & under no circumstances would I want the person coming to mine.

Hmmm in that case you need to be more careful.

If she's not worth it don't even go.

If you wanna work it out maybe start with a videocall.

And as a crazy idea just get yourself a taser. If she gets violent you just quickly press it on her and press the button she'll be completely pacified.

I know she has mental issues and other problems, but I'm trying to keep up our relationship because all the others abandoned her. In so far she seemed to be really sorry and we managed to talk. We'll see if the behavior keeps up.
Screenwriter

Again, Jean-Marie, the others have abandoned her. Children are loath to abandon a parent unless the parent has hurt them too many times. IT doesn't matter that she's "really sorry." Really sorry never changes behaviors.
Unless your mother is going to mental health counseling and taking medication for her issues, and I mean, she's doing this regularly for the rest of her life, she will keep doing what's given her the results she wants: She wants you to feel sorry for her as you're the only child who still talks to her. She wants you to give her money.
She's not a real parent. She's a bad penny. Listen to what others say. Do not meet her in any place but in public. Let her PAY for dinner. Don't hang around with her for forever. That's another thing she's doing. Because you're at her house or yours, she has unlimited time to schmooze you.
At a restaurant, you have 2 hours or so and it's OVER. You can say your fiance is waiting for you, or you have to do something. You can LEAVE EASILY.
Don't get trapped by her manipulations. That's what she's up to. I don't buy a bit of it. She's a snake.
It's sad she's also your mother. DISTANCE YOURSELF and BE CAREFUL.
Have dinner with her once a month, maybe. Don't make it regular. You don't need to be close to someone who's physically assaulted you and THAT IS WHAT IT WAS ASSAULT.
You should've pressed charges.
Screenwriter

8 d
If it ever happens again, call the police and PRESS CHARGES. TELL HER THAT!
"Mom, I'm glad we've talked and resolved some of this. I accept your apology. But IF THIS EVER HAPPENS AGAIN, I'm calling the police and pressing charges and we will not be on speaking terms ever again."
Make it plain and straightforward. Don't listen to her exhortations that it won't ever or how could it or how could you even SAY you'd press charges against your mother... etc.
Respond with, if my MOTHER ASSAULTS ME, SHE IS A C RIMINAL AND I WILL PRESS CHARGES>
You have a good night. I'm leaving.
And end it with that. I hope her mouth is hanging open and there's a look of surprize on her face.
Be a man, not her little boy. She's using you because you want her love. She doesn't have any for you. You're a bank account. Get that in your head.
I wish you peace despite all this chaos.
