Your title drew me in. This needs to be understood deeply. It’s too late to repair the relationship I had ,when at 47, the quiet breeze of perimenopause (not then named outside of the medical profession) began to stir. That breeze became a perfect storm. It tore through my inner world, and then my outer world. I followed some of the craziness like a moth seeking flame, and in doing so, destroyed a relationship in an ugly way. I know now, what was going on. It’s not ‘just’ hormones, but they certainly are a signifier. It’s not ‘just’ spiritual shifts, although that is the driver. It’s a complex mix, that includes self-worth, desires, needs, communication, deep self-reflection and definitely support. My mother didn’t make it through peri. Neither did her sister. I knew I had to hang on in there and emerge with a wiser view and process. Your article shows we are making progress.
