@Goldengate8361 Wrong, It IS possible. Don't be judgy about this as you don't know.

I'm sorry but this mother is 83 years old, she does not have to put up with this treatment, not at this stage of her life! She has done NOTHING wrong, she has listened to her daughter for hours and has sympathy but she does not deserve to be spoken to like that by her daughter and I don't care if the daughter is menopausal!!!!!!!!!!!! That's her mother!!

The mother deserves a lot more consideration than she is receiving on here.

@Somertime .....Totally agree with you one of my 'difficult' sisters jumped all over my mom after a breast cancer surgery! It was at my step daughter's graduation party weekend. My mom at the time was 59 years old and was gone 2 years later.

Nothing was ever her fault....

Not buying it. I have no doubt that the OP genuinely has hurt feelings and I'm not questioning that....but menopause happens much earlier than 63. I believe some details about the post are a little off. @Love my grandkids

@pattiewaddle All I can say is I'm sorry there is such tension between you and your daughter right now. There may be lasting regrets on both sides. Best to realize life is short and do your best with loved ones, and it sounds like you've been trying.

I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving with no more family turmoil...

Perhaps this is a case of Let Sleeping Dogs Lie... and hope daughter and SIL feel better. I don't know.

No one wants to get a version of "give it a rest" when they need to vent.

To the OP, you hurt your daughter's feeling and she is reacting to your words. If that was not your intent, then you should apologize to your daughter.

I don't think anyone here is saying the mother is the only one at fault here or maybe "at fault" isn't the word.... seems like a misunderstanding, at least I'm not. All we're hearing is one side.

I think we're giving her advice as to how to deal with her feeling sad. The only person she has control over is herself and so I think most are advising her to call and talk it over instead of sitting and stewing or going to Thanksgiving and feeling uncomfortable....

I looked it up. The average age range for going through menopause is 40-58 with the average age being 51.

Mine was at mid 40's.Lucky for me, it wasn't too bad.

@pattiewaddle I'm so sorry. I understand the daughter "problem." Mine has barely spoken to me in years! Whatever happens, I want to wish you a blessed Thanksgiving. **hugs**

Thank you for all of your replies. I should have told you she has been seen by two Drs they both agree it is hormonal. Complete blood work up and pap smear. Waiting for results and follow up on Dec 1. This does not seem strange for someone her age they were adamant about it. Women are all different.
