To ask about menopause?

[ILoveHumanity]

My mil has started menopause few years ago, talks about hot flushes and so.

My mum is heading towards that.

Me and mil don’t get on because of her extreme emotional baggage and my husband said she wasn’t like that before. I want to know whether her menopause is making her extremely emotional and so I can understand her.

Can I ask those who have been through it, how is it and how does it effect women ? Is it like being on ur period ?

Look up the NHS site on menopause and impact.

I’ve been through it and remained calm, no mood swings or extreme changes in my personality.

I didn’t do HRT either.

Look on the boards here, affects women in different ways but yes, for some the fluctuating hormones can be very debilitating.
Emotional baggage might be about stuff she has suppressed she needs help with?
I think it is good you are trying to understand her.
