This is just awful. Normally I tend to try not to advise people to automatically involve authorities but in this case it is an absolute must! Go to your counselor asap whether or not you have video proof. If you cant find a counselor maybe the nurse or any teacher you are comfortable with. There is so much harm being done- harm you will not even realize until you are older. You can call anonymously and report your own abuse to child protective services/social services/children and youth- or whatever its called in your town. (DFPS - Texas Child Protective Services (CPS))
This will escalate. When an investigation is opened or your parents are involved-your mother will try to make you guilty, or make nice to you, be angry with you, push your dad to pile on- so many things could happen. DO not take the bait. Do not engage her. If you are not home do not go anywhere with her or take her calls. Do not feel guilty or that this is your fault.
Do you have family members that you could stay with?
