It depends on the person #2, my mum is so so scary when she is manic, completely out of control.
I was tossed around, slammed down, fist high in the air ready to come down on me!
I ran from him twice. each time. lets say i did not get too far from him.. He came at me like a kidnapper in the dark.. Hand over mouth, pinching my nose, arm around my waist keeping me from breathing.. Thrown back into the house cos' i was not allowed to leave him!
Held down the floor him screaming to wake my son and our son.. just to tell them their mother is a worthless fucking whore for wanting to leave him!
My mum has never foamed, sounds a bit rabid.
I often thought over the years, that in the middle ages when people were said to be possessed, that they more than likely had a mental illness. But others thought that they had demons in them.
When my mum is in a manic rage it is like she has demons inside her.
It's very scary to be confronted with that, and even though now I have learnt how to behave when she is manic (don't say anything that could make her hit me), she still will rage on at me.
