A Household on the Brink: Sisters vs. Mom’s Explosive Temper

In a household where tension runs high, two courageous sisters take a stand against their mom’s volatile temper. Their plea for less yelling and more talking is met with resistance, as their mom defends her actions with the hardships she’s faced. The sisters argue that personal struggles don’t justify lashing out at loved ones. But with their mom’s refusal to change, the future of their relationship hangs in the balance. Can they find a way to defuse the ‘ticking time bomb’ or will the household continue to be a battlefield? Let’s see what the world thinks of this emotionally charged situation…

“NTA. Parents need to understand that if they can’t deal with their own trauma in healthy ways, it becomes their children’s trauma as well. It can’t be used as an excuse to treat other people poorly. If she needs support (which it really seems like she does), pushing her kids away by yelling at them constantly is only going to make her more isolated and make things worse. I empathise OP, my mum was like this constantly before she started going to therapy! Trauma is a complicated thing, I always say it can be an explanation of behaviour but never an excuse for it.”
