You made the right move in leaving the house. I would have personally called the police and told them exactly what happened. If you have a bruise or anything like that, I would also take several pictures. It sounds as though your mothers boyfriend has control over her and is manipulating her in one way or another, which is why she feels the need to defend him.
It doesn't matter if you were screaming at him at the top of your lungs or doing anything else for that matter, the INSTANT any man lays his hands on you is the instant that they've crossed the line. You don't deserve to live in an environment thats verbally abusive yet alone physically abusive, and they obviously dont deserve to have you around. I also think it would be a good idea to tell your story to your friends parents or another group of adults whom you trust.
