How do you deal with a friend who is on an emotional roller coaster and who is always defensive?

I need some advice. I became really close with another mother in my area. In the beginning she showed me her sweet, kind, very helpful side BUT now that we have gotten closer and she has become more comfortable with me she is showing me her true colors. She is like a ticking time bomb. She will snap at the silliest things and she becomes so defensive. She is constantly screaming at her kids and doesn't even give them a chance to talk. I sometimes talk to her about something that is bothering me and she will cut me off, interrogate me and become defensive without letting me finish talking. I'm really fed up of her adult tantrums and really just want to scream out to her to GROW UP!

Sooooo please anyone, how do I handle a friend like this???? I shouldn't have to be on pins and needles with a friend. I should be able to be honest and speak freely.

Get off the ride and ask the park for a refund.
