I had a mother who was nuts (really nuts- like medicated with lithium nuts) and who yelled and screamed at my dad- so loudly all the neighbors could hear. And my dad was an alcoholic, which no doubt strained my already nutty mother. They fought all the time- with my mother, who used to strangle herself in front of me saying she would kill herself, from as early as I can remember- frequently running out of the house saying she was running off for good. But together I think they were probably better off than alone- and I, their child, was certainly better off with the two of them, than with either unstable portion of them.
