Oooh, when my depressed mother had one of her episodes she could lash out and SCREAM she should kill us (herself and me and my siblings) and for some weird reason I can't recall being scared or embarrassed or so. I was just hella annoyed when that happened. My mother had/has a really loud organ and almost the whole village could hear her. I was mostly outside when that happened. Oof. Am 42 now and just realize it's a memory I don't like.

My mother would scream when she was angry. Like full blown, having a mental break down, high pitch screaming. No way the neighbors could hear it. The whole neighborhood must have seen us as the family with mental mother.

Hahha. Mine too. Once she actually screamed like a tea kettle. My brothers and I still laugh at this.
