Is it her menopause or nah?!

Alright so my mom is 46, turning 47 next month in March, I’m 23 and I’ve noticed a behavior change from her, since like late December-early January, she has became very mean ignorant disrespectful arrogant with me, something that she wasn’t like before.. I’ve have been thinking that she may have became a toxic mom, which can’t make sense cause she would have always been like that, not recently some peoples have told me that she may been going menopause, do y’all think is the case, if so, how long does it lasts, is there any medications she can take to control it because it very difficult for me and my mental-emotional health to deal with her rn, I literally feel like walking on eggshells everytime im around her?!

Might be your behaviour that’s prompted it mind
It's possible, but if it is, give her a break, going through the menopause is rough. Stop making it all about your wants and needs and try being having some empathy - after all you're 23, you're not a young child.
She could either be going through the menopause or could be perimenopausal given her age, but if she is it's not a matter of taking a pill and everything is fine. I'd really suggest that you do some reading on it to educate yourself as to what she might be going through. Either way, I'd be showing an awful lot more empathy. You're an adult, and that means you can take the time to reflect on and educate yourself about the behaviours of others.
