Well, I've been in a physical fight with my mom before but it wasn't as intense as yours sounds. Regardless, it left me feeling alone and I called my aunt and told her EVERYTHING after it happened because I felt like I needed an adult in my corner (I think I was 17ish when this happened.) I feel for you. I don't have any advice or words of wisdom, I can only tell you that time has made that incident very small I'm the grand scheme of things for me and for my mom. We've had more bad times since then but never ever physical again after that.

I guess I do have a suggestion actually, get yourself into therapy if you aren't already. My mom ALWAYS tried to make me go into therapy with her and I resented it so much. She was constantly trying to put the blame on me but it takes 2 to tango, KWIM? It's not like one of us was beating on the other we were both engaged and acting in appropriately. Maybe offer up that you'll help your daughter get into individual OR joint family counseling.
