Menepause Hell!!!

Is anyone else's mum going through Menepause? Mine is and christ its like living with an explosive time bomb, and i thought it was bad when she had PMT now she has it constantly and its starting to wear thin now.

I do have sympathy for her but when she shouts at me for not noticing that the bins haven't been brought in off the street (when i bring them in virtually every week and this was the only time i forgot) or when i ask if i can go on the computer after she's been on it for 5 hours, or this being the worst, she calls me selfish because i was on a comuter thats downstairs (the computer upstairs was already turned on and everything) i was talking to people and was also doing some work and she told me to go onto the computer upstairs (for no other reason than just prefuring the computer downstairs) so i said no cos im already talking to people and have my work on here, she told me to e-mail it upstairs and just continue the convo upstairs, i told her that there was no point when she could just go on that one herself and she went into a complete strop saying i was a selfish cow and that she paid for the damn thing so i should move. Just makes me wish i was in uni this year lol.

Hormone Replacement Therapy, where women going through the menopause are given replacement oestrogen to help combat the symptoms.

Hrt would be good, but don't think she'd appreciate it if i told her to go on it lol

Ah, my mum had an early menopause. Was a nightmare, I was only a kid at the time too so I didnt understand why she turned into a **** overnight... probably why our relationship is strained these days.
Why don't you try and do some girly bonding with your mummy, she is probably starting to feel old. Take her out for lunch and do some shopping, or go to a beauty spa and get some treatments together.
