[QUOTE="gamijo, post: 381278"] when she had that rage last week, by the time I got my camera she was already in the manic mode- just walking through the house breathing heavy and seemingly looking for something. The damage had been done for the most part, but I also have to make sure my son is out of harm's way, which is difficult because he doesn't understand to get away from her and is always in the middle trying to protect me from her, her from me, or just trying to be near me because he's scared.
