[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Becoming invisible.

And peri/menopause has been awful for me with the hot flashes and sleep disturbances. Five years after it started, I finally have a doctor helping me address it. [/quote]

I love being invisible. My life is so peaceful. I feel like I just drift along in my own world oblivious to everyone's drama. [/quote]

To a point. My mother is now dying of Stage iV cancer because all the doctors blew her off and said all of her issues and aches and pains were due to old aging. Or it was all arthritis. Or worst, just in her head. Being invisible and unheard will shorten her life.[/quote]

How old was she when she first started her quest? And you as well. And your kids. 
My friend had a situation like this. However looking back it was better for her to deal with her mom’s passing when she was relatively young than if it lasted 10 more years or hit when her kids were applying to colleges etc.
So it does sound cruel but it may have been for the best [/quote]

I'm in my 40s, kids are teen/tweens. The timing is never good. We were contemplating a cross country move for careers and that will be much harder to figure out now b/c we won't want to leave my dad on his own and he's not likely to want to move with us. It never occurred to me my dad would outlive my mom. So, no, it won't be for the best.[/quote]
