restore my faith in America, or put me on the next boat out of here
A lady in my congregation women's group and I were having a disagreement that yall can weigh in on. I'm having objectivity trouble since, as many of you know, there was a key episode of yelling in my life in the past month

Since this woman is a roommate, I would walk into confronter her by couching it in terms like, "I really have a problem with the amount of yelling in the house. It is really making me, the others and our guests very uncomfortable." Even though it's about her yelling at the kid, by not mentioning her kid at gets around defenseness that you are attacking her as a mother. This way it's as a roommate who is tired of the fucking yelling. If she blames the kid, then she's opened the door and tell her that the kid is not yelling like an idiot, the kid is not being mean because something is upsetting it, she is.
If that still doesn't work maybe she needs to see a video of herself yelling at the kid. She might not be aware how horrible she looks and sounds (or care until it's thrown back in her face.) Also it makes for important evidence if this persists.
Tough call but since it's in your house something needs to be said to her.

I dunno whether the crafty shifting of discomfort to the other roommates and their guests would be a viable ploy. But it's certainly more creative and constructive than a lot of alternatives.

If it works, it works and just seems less extreme than running to the cops and CPS.
