this but what is the matter? I am enrolled in college and have been looking for a job for months but nothing pops up. I know im not perfect but lately it seems she always has something to yell about, yes my mom doesnt speak, she yells. Then other days she loves me and appreciates the things i do for her.. but she always finds something, a flaw, the slightest flaw.. it makes me sad because I am trying my best to please her. I was discharged from the navy when i was 20 after only a year. I thought that would be the root of all this but its been two years.. My mom is unemployed and pretty much is at home for almost all day. Nowadays when she instigates an argument.. i just agree with what ever she says and i go with it and take.. Ive talked to friends but not family about this.. could it be menopause, bipolarity or just hate.. please help.
 
No, it is not hate (don't think like that). I'm around that age too, so I think it is the start of menopause-which can really make hormones go crazy! Just let her be whatever way she is & let her know that you are there for her & you love her!
 
Your mom is going through menopause. Just don't take anything she says personally because she most likely does not mean it and it is just her hormones talking.

Don't argue with her just walk away, even if you know she is wrong.

My mom went through it and it was the same thing, nothing I did was right. It eventually passed and now things are back to normal.
 
Maybe it's due to the fact that her grown son still sponges off of her. Good grief man, get yourself a job and get a place of your own. Your mommy can't take care of you forever.
 
it could mean that you're a grown assed man and need to get the f*ck out of mommy's house. She loves you so she won't tell it to you that plainly. Get on with your life man. Mommy doesn't owe you a living.
 
at 46yrs old...it could well be the menopause & that causes mood swings & unpredictability!! she might also be suffering from a bit of depression without a job & stuck home all day.

just try to ignore the moods...you'll have your own place one day.
