I'm pretty sure my mom is going through menopause right now because she is really irritable and moody and she's giving my dad the silent treatment because he got mad at her. Today was her birthday but she didn't even want to eat the cake we got her. I'm really pis$ed off about this and I want my family back. Anything I can do or do I just have to wait it out?

Menopause is the period marked by the natural and permanent cessation of menstruation. A woman begins to see changes in her menstrual cycles usually between the ages of 45 and 55. It's the time in a woman's life that the function of her ovaries begins to cease. Most people recognize this as the "turning point".Some women may have few or no first signs of menopause, while others experience multiple psychological and physical symptoms. The symptoms and severity of them varies significantly from woman to woman. Every woman's experience will be different but some of the common first signs of menopause are:-Irregular Periods - Hot Flashes - Problems with the Vagina and Bladder - Loss of Sex Drive - Fatigue - Mood Changes - Headaches - Sleep Problems - Water RetentionCan you imagine having to deal with all that and nobody understands what you’re going through? Spend some time and talk to her about your concerns (Your Mom’s Health and Well Being). Show empathy for her. The more you can learn on your own about this change, the more your mom will open up to you about it. This could help tremendously.

Menopause can be a frightening and frustrating time of life for some women. A lot is happening to her body and it can affect your mental/emotional state. If your mom is going through menopause, you and your dad need to be supportive and understand the physical causes of the changes that are taking place. Encouraging her to talk about what she is experiencing. Open communication always promotes understanding. As moods change you may be able to provide support by being more flexible and comforting. Offer to help. Simple things like doing the dishes or cleaning up before she gets home. Mutual love, caring, and communication are necessary to manage the adjustments that always need to be made, to a greater or lesser degree, during these transition years.

I have the same problem with my mother, its literally as if they are bipolar. You want to be careful about how and when you approach her about this. Its a really difficult time in their lives emotionally and physically, and I think that they realise how horrible they are acting, but just seriously cant control it, the best thing to do honestly, is walk away and whisper under your breath what a cow shes being and try and laugh it off, arguing with her is going to make it worse, and be a real good support to your dad. You mom will get over this hump I promise...but when it is a good time, maybe sit down and talk to her, let he know there are healthy vitamins and tell her to make sure she is keeping up with her personal wellness, bring her a flower every once and awhile or call her and ask her how she is doing, I assure you she WILL get over this

Definitly talk to your mom when shes calm about your feelings, dont be mean about it be sincere, this will be a rough time for everone and you all need to come up with solutions for things to keep everyone happy. Also, waiting it out is a good one, just remind yourself that she is going through a tough time and things will work out for the best soon.

Have you voiced your feelings to your parents? Let them know, and not to make them bad, but you really care about your parents and your family. Try to talk to your mom when she's in at least a decent and/or good mood; the talk would possibly go smoother. Good luck!

My mom is the same way sometimes. You can't do anything about it. Although, birth control pill can help with menopause by regulating the hormones in her body.
