Ah. I was assuming that you were joking. I'm now assuming/hoping that while your comment may have been serious, the event was not - that it was a passing thing that was easily and quickly disposed of.
I know what you mean about not wanting to tell - if it's not something for real, you don't want the therapist to go blowing it all out of proportion, telling your parents, locking you up, drugging you up (or more so), whatever. But if it ever is serious, I'm sure you know that the best thing you can do to protect your mother and yourself actually IS to tell your therapist. It's better to deal with it when it's starting to become an issue than later. The person I know who held a knife to her father, her older sister get cops to come to her house and take her to a hospital for a few days. Don't let it get that far - and you probably know whether or not it's going to.
You're a CTYer, you're smart. :) Just don't forget to consult your head occasionally in addition to your emotions. You'll be off to college in a year or months or something, and that'll give you some nice distance from them. Take it day by day until then.
