Earlier tonight, my mother told me she doesn't care or love me.

Note that I'm still very young, 16, and a female. As the titles says so, my mother caught me smoking pot in my room. I smoke pot every so often and since school's out, I'm doing it less since I don't exactly have a steady supplier. Today, though, I decided to stay home with two of my closest friends and watch some movies and since I had some trees, I figured it'd be nice to relax and have a calm day. But after my final mini sesh of the evening, my mother smelled it and called me down, then started yelling at me. I'm not a disrespectful child. I do try to listen to her and do my best in school and I try not to cause her any sort of stress/trouble. Anyways, while she was yelling I kept my cool and waited for her to calm down and listen but things just got progressively worse. Thats when things escalated she started hitting me. I began to freak out, hyperventilate, and have an anxiety attack. But she just kept hitting me. So I stood up to get my dog and every time I would try to defend myself she would just yell out ignorant comments about how weed kills brain cells and leads to harder stuff like heroine. Now I am not stupid, I know both of those things have been disproven. Besides that, she started yelling about how she doesn't care about me or love me and that I'm just a huge burden and such. I felt so defenseless and lost. Especially when she said she didn't believe me about being sexually abused by my older brother for 5+ years when I was much younger, which has left me traumatized of men. I do not sleep well either. I don't know what to do or who to turn to. I feel so hopeless. I've never felt so alone and I really feel abandoned by her and the rest of my family. Everything was so blown out of proportion and totally misunderstood and now I have no one to care for me or love me and I don't know what to do. I feel like running away but I know that will solve nothing.

AMA. Advice would be greatly appreciated as well.
