I think mine is. And. Its making me bloody insane !

Everything I say, everything I do is met with negativity and a snide remark of some kind.

History.
I am overweight. 1 year ago I lost 50 pounds and well all excuses aside I gained it back. She started a diet a few months after me and has done amazing and has lost 90 pounds and is excersizing all the time and looks great. I am not jealous I am proud of her. However she is always looking down at me, bugging me about what food choices I make, staring at fat people in stores and giving me 'the eyes' of distaste.

Today I talked to her on the phone and told her when we move my girlfriend is going to come and help me unpack. Her response "Well, you are going to be in an awful mess!" .. I have no idea what that means ?

Basically she is always making me re-think all my decisions and the decisions I make for me and my family. Why do I let her do this and does her behaviours have anything to do with Menopause ? She says becuz she is so healthy now she isnt experiencing any hot flashes etc..

phew ! I probly have missed a bunch of stuff but I just am frazzled and feel like crap when I talk to her or am around her.

THanks to all my cysters who have made it this far.

My Dh just said he thinks she is developing a "God' complex .. bless his heart he always is trying to make me smile

My mom thinks she is going through the change, but all she has is abscence of periods! It sounds like your mom's attitude is more than just menopause. Was she like that before?

Every once in a while she had attitude but nothing like this. Maybe my husband is right despite his joking and its a "god" complex becuz she has lost weight and well "you are what you eat" as she always says ! and I just havent I have gained LOL She does have absence of periods now so I wondered if it was related.
