Well I went through mine a few years back....it probably was the best thing that happened to me, BUT not for the people around me. They just had to sit back and see where it took me.
All they could have really done to help out was not do anything that would annoy me. If it is helping out around the place, cooking dinner or doing dishes etc without being asked so that I wouldn't have to do it then that would have helped with the mood swings. Lay low and let her figure herself out. Warning though you might not like the outcome or appove.
I liken it now to what a teenager goes through when they are trying to deal with who they are...they aren't a child anymore and they aren't an adult either...so they have to work out where they fit in... They rebel, they act out and they test waters searching!
Yes very much the same, she's trying to find herself, not the mother or the wife or the cleaner or the one saving everyone else but who is SHE and what has she accomplished in her 40 odd years?
Just be there Bri and show her how much you appreciate everything she has been for you
