These sound like really scary memories. It makes sense that you are worried about your dad being violent again-- he should never have hurt her or you. It's hard to know what to advise because I don't know much about the situation. Are you comfortable asking your mum if she is safe, and would she tell you the truth? Do you have younger sibs at home that you're worried about, or somebody who could tell you what's going on? I don't think the police can do much unless there is an actual incident... I don't know. It's really compassionate and caring of you to be worried about your mum... but it can be very hard to help somebody or convince them to change. You can let your mum know that you care, urge her to seek help, etc, but what she chooses to do is up to her. The most important thing right now for you is that you are out of that situation, and need to stay safe.
