Ever Dealt With Someone That Screams All The Time?

[MissTee1]

My mother screams over everything. if you say one thing she doesn't agree with she loses her mind. Obviously, this isn't normal. Like tonight I called to tell her something. She screamed a blue streak and said I've already talked to you once today what do you want? this is nothing unusual. it is now even becoming an issue at work. She and her boss don't get along well. My mother is usually quite around others but has screamed at me my whole life I mean really scream like where only dogs can hear. Anyway, her boss said something she didn't agree with and now her boss has told her twice to keep her voice down and quit getting upset so easily. I told her that this has got to stop and she said I was taking everyone elses side.
If you yell or try to defend yourself she either hangs up or if it's in person she says you're crazy i'm calling the police. I am an adult and we are growing older. Most mothers with a grown child wouldn't care how many times they talked to them in a day. it's usually the other way around. I can choose not to speak to her or etc. but that is not the point. She is the only family I have. She has caused quite the emotional damage in fact so severe that i havenever shared with anyone how deep the pain is. I can see a therapist for that. But has anyone ever heard of this type of behavior and know what causes it. i believe it is untreated anxiety. There is no way to know when it will come. It will take you by surprise. You can be having a perfectly normal conversation and she will go crazy over nothing.
Someone who screams all the time that is not a child

You poor thing.....
Maybe your mother is going through menopause or even has Bipolar. Regardless she sounds highly strung and should see a doctor to diagnose her problem. Whether it be hormonal or just plain psychological she needs to learn some techniques to control her outbursts or maybe some medication if it's hormonal.
She needs to be convinced to see a doctor. Try telling her how much it hurts you to see her go through these emotions and that she is pushing away the people closest to her. Reinforce to her how much you love her and need her in your life and that it's not normal for her to act this way with you. Help her see how important it is to go to a doctor.
Good Luck and best wishes. It's certainly not fair on you.....

OMG! I just want to hold you. It's not normal for a parent to be that abusive {verbally} to her child. She is taking it out on you because of her performance at work.
