My mother is in her late forties and has finally hit the "Change".
She is driving me insane. In the last year she had become judgmental, hypocritical and just generally nuts.
I know that there are medical ways to help, but does anyone have any advice on dealing with a woman that is in the change and becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
Of course, this goes hand and hand with any crazy wife/girlfriend/sister pms advice that anyone might be harboring.
Thanks!

When my mom went through it I did everything I could to stay out of the house and her way. My Mom's hormones were so off that you could look at her the wrong way and she'd freak out. It's normal and scary all at the same time. Just try to be understanding and when she steps on your toes just remind her that you're trying your best to understand what she's going through. It's kind of hard I know but there's not much you can do really. Sorry that's not as helpful as you wanted.

Thanks!!
I hate to say it because my mom and I are super close (or rather we used to be) but maybe I should just stay out her way... I mean, it seems to be the only way... Everything I do and say starts a huge fight, not matter how insignificant it may seem... Its like dealing with a crazed two year old in a 45 year old body.
