You're waiting. Waiting for the phone to ring. Waiting for a text. Waiting for a call. Waiting for some sign that your adult child remembers you exist. That they care. That they want to talk to you. But the phone doesn't ring. The text doesn't come. The call doesn't happen. Days go by. Weeks go by. Sometimes months go by. And you're left wondering: What happened? When did we stop talking? When did they stop calling? When did I become someone they don't need to talk to? You think about when they were younger. When they called you for everything. When they needed you for everything. When you ...

You're in your late thirties or forties. Something feels off. Your periods might be irregular. You wake at 3 AM and can't fall back asleep. You feel anxious for no reason — or irritable in ways that surprise you. You've been to the doctor. Everything is "normal." You know it's not. You're not going crazy. You're in perimenopause — and nobody gave you the map. Perimenopause is the four to ten years before your last period. It's when your hormones fluctuate wildly — up one month, down the next. It's when symptoms appear that don't fit the simple story of "menopause = hot flashes." Brain...
