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.

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.
