Menopause thus far has been a breeze. This is not common, but it's probably because I'm on mood medication. It is really nice not to have PMS or tender breasts or leaking or surprise middle of the night flooding or any of it. I feel lucky.

Estrangement is hard but also sanity saving, isn't it? Like no way I could go through my entire life dealing with her manipulation. My mom is extremely dangerous and right now is apparently working on breaking up my brother's relationship, she HATES that he's gay so she spends a lot of time insulting and belittling his partner. And it'll work. He has no spine with her.

I am sorry you are in the same boat but glad you got away from your mom. There's no safety in these relationships.
