Such a powerful question.
The relationship with our mothers changes throughout the lifespan.
And I find that some mothers are more transparent with their daughters than others about their own menopause journey.
I think every menopause journey is as unique as each mother-daughter bond, perhaps.
My mother, for example, if you were to talk to her about menopause, she'd say, menopause, I didn't have any problems.
No problems at all.
You know, never, mm-mm.
But in hindsight, I can remember, I didn't know what it was, seeing some mood swings and some unpredictable behavior.
And maybe I even saw some hot flashes, but it was just written off as, oh, it's just hot in here.
But I did come to it totally unprepared because she sailed through it.
So I thought, it's not going to happen to me.
Or she thinks she sailed through it.
She thinks she sailed through it.
And I do feel like for her mother...
And for herself, it wasn't permitted to even admit, I'm struggling.
There was a real ethic of, I got this.
I can do everything.
Well, I think when we live in a culture that values pull yourself up by your bootstraps and independence more than interdependence and the fact that we need each other, anything that would make us feel a little vulnerable might also leave us feeling one down.
That we are below someone with more capacity, someone with more power, and that's a threatening feeling.
Right.
