[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Over the dumbest stuff. A misunderstanding,  a piece  of information she  didn't get about an upcoming  event. Yelling, accusing, snide sarcastic tone, threatening to hang up.

Also, not with parents,  but other people, like  close friends- someone might say something  that  she takes personally,  and  she will  cut them off. But not before getting into a serious yelling match  and  then nothing but the silence treatment and the follow up " I'm done.  " No conflict resolution, just door slam. Probably  5 close friends over 20 years  have been cut off. Terrible temper, poor emotional regulation. [/quote]

Based on your post, I think you already know there are issues, and you have strong feelings. Usually it's not the "dumb stuff" that caused the anger, but many things leading up to it. Regardless, you sound very enmeshed in the situation. I think you already mentioned the person gets mental health help. You may want to consider it as well so you can learn to detach and distance.
