My mom is going through a very rough patch of perimenopause. It's been really rough for all of us because her emotions just go completely out of whack sometimes. Lately she's been very down on my dad and I feel so horrible. My dad is a hardworking man that breaks his back everyday to support myself, my little brother, and my mom. My mom is a homemaker who to be completely honest doesn't do much around the house. Yet, she still gets at my dad for the stupidest things. Just yesterday my mom worried me a little bit with something she said to me. I have this guy who is very interested in me and we were texting most of the day. My mom literally said she was jealous of the attention I was getting from this guy. She described it as "young love" and was just giving me this ticked off vibe. I asked if she was jealous and she said yes because its been a long time since she had that. I'm a young adult talking to a guy and she's been married for over 20 years and she's jealous of her daughter talking to someone? My mom and I used to fight all the time too but now it's been all her and my dad and I'm tired of the constant fighting with my parents and the way my mom treats my dad. She's accused him of having a girlfriend because of the long hours he works and the time he takes to do side jobs, complains to me about him, she's accused him of "changing", they always disagree about house work and things like that. To be honest, she's changed, and I'm tired of her attitude and the way she takes advantage and gets at my father. He has allowed her to sit on her butt for years while he works to provide for her and she really doesn't even keep up with the house work or anything! I just feel like it's really disrespectful.
