The 12th floor balcony! How terrifying!
You have good ideas on how to cope and practical experience with them. Hang in there! -- and give thought to trying feralkittymom's suggestions as well. I can't recall my mother screaming at me in public either.

Yeah it was scary enough that I try to never think about it. I was 6.

I think the idea of a car accident is an excuse--it's just a mask for the control.

I don't even know how many are recent or not. She yells at me so much that it all runs together. I do remember her yelling at me in the backyard a lot. The thing is that if I were to sit in the backyard, she'd see me and come out and **** next to me and start just talking crap about me again. She has this way of saying really cruel things in the most polite and sincere voice to make you believe her. I don't think if they heard her they would even realize what she was doing to me. They live very close but the houses are big and I don't know how much they can hear. She wouldn't yell at me if we were literally in public. She'd make faces at me and try to scare me, but she'd never yell at me the way that she does in this house. I don't know any of the neighbors.
