I’m 48 so likely in the throes of early menopause. Have always been quite thoughtful of others and tried to help and supporte wherever I can. This last year or so I feel like I have stopped giving shits about so much and ppl in general.
It feels good strangely but this sudden lack of wanting to people please is coming at a cost to my family members (talking Dbs and dsils and DF increasingly). It’s mostly the males of the family who are usually hot tempered and fiery, and in the past I’ve always accepted the blame or gone quiet. Now, I’m arguing right back and it’s causing major clashes as I’m defending myself esp in ways which are out of character (swearing back etc). My tolerance has gone. DF has Alzheimer’s and my patience for him is also diminishing fast sadly. I feel bad for my poor dm who I love to bits as she’s stuck in the middle of all these fights and arguments. She gets tearful and cries that we can’t all get along.
I’ve had enough and I dont know why.
its costing me my relationship with my db who has been quite hot tempered and his family too.
have had to walk away from DF after not being able to cope with his unnecessary outburst at my mum. I can’t tolerate the males of my family anymore (I’m not talking my dh or two ds).
is this my personality now?
