Am about to enter menopause maybe...who knows? I feel fine and my mom had kids at my age. But I went to my HS reunion 7 weeks ago and my age group 44-50 is dealing with it. Many of my gf's are going through it. Other than hot flashes, which seem hard to treat medically, EACH one of them took some med for it and said it/they helped...Also fwiw, they're all college grads with some smarts in them. Two are nurses who said they'd "never go through something like this without modern science..." etc. and one said "Black Cohosh" helped her, but she's my Birkenstock all natural vegan friend...so I hope that helps.
LD, you and SD are in somewhat diff sitch's dont' you think? Anyhow, glad you got her out of the jam in the winter and all, or it would have looked punitive. But don't think for ONE MINUTE that it didn't occur to her that she called YOU instead of the "boy" in the basement...OTOH, if people in her family keep rubbing her idiocy in her face, she'll have no choice but to feel defensive and it'll be that much harder for her to come back.
Remember that DB phrase I got from my coach: KEEP THE ROAD HOME PAVED AND SMOOTH, which does NOT mean be a doormat. Just know she's eating crow more than we'll all ever know. I'm actually embarrassed for her...and happy for you (( j ))
