My mum was the sweetest, most generous, most selfless person you could possibly imagine. She would do anything for anyone, anything I asked her to do.
Then BAM! Menopause struck! My gentle mother suddenly became a savage monster, throwing coffee cups because the lunch my father brought home for her was on the wrong bread, feeding my babies full-sugar diets despite me telling her it was bad for them and asking her to stop. She turned gossipy with her friends. She'd go from happy to vicious in 10 seconds. And so many other horrible things, I can't fit them all here. Now, we put up with this, and tried to understand that it was her hormones and not her doing this, and that she had no control over it.
She's been on hormone replacement and her levels have been normal for over 5 years now, so why is she still devil-woman? It got so bad that I've had to keep her out of my life. It's just on a year now since I've spoken to her. I miss my mum. Anybody have a similar situation?
