How To Cope When Living With Someone Going Through Menopause by J0nyb0y(m): 9:33am On Jul 28, 2014 |
DEFINITION Menopause is defined as the final period of a woman. It could occur at 40, 50 or 60. There is no set age. . It's up to your body to decide when it's time to have your last period. For many woman they could decide on HRT treatment to help them through it or even try using alternative herbal treatments. . YOU COULD HAVE THE MENOPAUSE IF YOU HAVE THE COMMON SYMPTOMS SUCH AS Mood Swings, Hot Flashes, Night Sweats or Weight Gain. But getting a diagnosis from a doctor is probably a good idea, these are just some common symptoms . But this post is not about the menopause, it's about coping with a person who is going through the menopause. The woman herself might be having the symptoms, but chances are she is going to take her frustration out on her husband and kids. . The behaviour of a mother going through the menopause will be as follow. 1. She will yell at you for no reason other than she is having a bad day. 2. She will get annoyed at you if you talk back to defend yourself. 3. She will ignore you for no reason. 4. She will argue with you for not doing something straight away. 5. She will then deny a hour later that she was behaving like this. 6. She will also a year later deny that she behaved like this. . HOW TO COPE WITH THE SYMPTOMS FROM THE FAMILY POINT OF VIEW For anyone living with someone going through the menopause you need to follow a few quick tips. . 1. Keep fuel in the car tank. 2. Ignore, Ignore, Ignore. I can't explain how important this is. Do not every try to reason with them as it will only cause more aggro. Back up and walk out of the room if at all possible. 3. Try to visit only on weekends as it reduces the amount of time you need to be in the house. 4. See if you can get them to try some form of treatment to help out with the symptoms. 5. Remember the goods times when your mother/wife was normal. One day they will be turn back into the person you remembered. 6. Stay positive. There is light on the horizon,they will get through it and return to normal someday. 7. Show them love and care - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This post is not intended to offend anyone going through the menopause, I know for some people it can be a difficult time in their lives. What I am trying to get across is that sometimes there can be side effects which the family have to live with. |

There was a similar thread before now but it was lost due to the hack. Good to have a second version. Good work @op. I have witnessed it firsthand. She is coming to the end of it though because the episodes are less frequent now. |

J0nyb0y:yeah, she's your mother after all. Considering all the years of sacrifice to make you have a good life, one should be able to support them through that period because they are not finding it easy either. |
