She scolds even for little things. I understand she's going through menopause phase but that doesn't mean she will get angry at her children. And how on earth is it my fault if she has mood swings? It is very rare that i have speak back and stand up for myself. Most of the times she keeps on scoffing, scolding. I don't take her words seriously because she doesn't mean it but still i get upset at the anger and scolds. And then suddenly she changes. She speaks softly and politely and treats me as her favourite kid. But how do i cope with the scolds and anger??

Talk with her about it when she's "speaking softly and treating you as her favourite kid". Tell her you understand she's going through menopause but that her mood swings are really affecting you. Ask her if she's willing to see a naturopath about this, who may be able to help her balance her hormones.

How old are you?

I am sorry you are experiencing this challenge with your mother. Some women have such a had time when they go through menopause. The change in hormones can be hard on the brain like going through withdrawals from a drug addiction.

I suffered from endometriosis and it was like having several uteruses filling me with too many hormones and I did have a hard time with mood swings because of that I had to work hard at consciously being aware of that and doing my best to control it.

Have you read about it so you at least understand that it’s not you and she genuinely is struggling?

Some women have it worse than others. Some even go nuts if it’s not gradual enough.
