How the hell do you get rid of bitchy moms?

well, my mom hits me and i cant tell anyone, so the best thing i can do is grow up. see, i live in massachussets, but im getting a scholarship and moving to California. that way, we will be separated by 50 states and i will never have to have her dig her nails into me again (not metaphorically, i have inch deep cuts in my arms from her) so i think the best thing to do is to put yourself away from the problem if it cannot be fixed. that's what im trying to do. i hate my mother so much.
