Hi Bec, I used to be a screaming mom. I found I did it due to anxiety. When you are anxious you want everything under control in order to feel more secure. I worked on my anxiety and now I never scream anymore. Keep posting.

My fiance's mother seems to only communicate by screaming at her kids. I used to hate her (I've known her for a long time), but know I can see the problem. Her relationship with her husband is terrible, and they usually communicate by screaming. He is pretty abusive to her, and I would scream at him too. I pray that she discovers that this is why she feels the need to yell at her kids. I'm finding that the reasons for most screaming in a household is a lack of love between the husband and wife. That may not be your case, but my point being, look deep and find what exactly is setting you off. Maybe enlist the help of a counselor to help you, or take your whole family to a counseling session.

Have you thought about counseling or seeing a doctor?

maybe zanax or welbutrin(spelling?)will help if not counciling...if you go to your doctor he/she may prescribe a low dose of something. the only problem with that is you get dependant. my father was that way as i was growing up, he was always flying off the handle! we had a horrible relationship...i was scared of him. now he takes both those pills and hes sooo laid back and such a nice guy! and fun to be around. good luck

l'm not sure where you are located in QLD but there are many good free services available to you. I used to yell a lot and now l realise it was because l wasn't happy in my marriage. Maybe there is something that is missing for you and this is frustrating you. Talking with someone/proffesional if possible will help,it makes you feel better in yourself to know you're not alone with this problem. Good luck
