Emmerdale - Faith Lies And Tells Chas Moira Is Going Through The Menopause

I'm so sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick. And so you should be. Barging in here, accusing me of having an affair. It was your mum I was talking to yesterday, not some fancy man. Arranging for me to come up and help her. It does seem a bit early for you to be going through the menopause. I thought so, too, but it just hit me out of the blue. And she's got it bad. Hot flushes, trouble sleeping, putting on weight. - I hadn't noticed. - Yeah, I must be hiding it well. The mood swings are the worst. I mean, Cain couldn't cope. That's why he had to run off to Scotland. I thought he'd gone to rest his ankle. Ooh, well, he told everyone that, but no. He was escaping this one, trying to save their marriage from collapsing. I had no idea it was this bad. Why didn't you tell me? We're family. I could have helped. - I'm obviously in denial. - Well, you told her. Well, that's only cos I walked in and found her smashing plates. Really? Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's your hormones, isn't it? Oh, you should see me when I'm pre-menstrual. It's a wonder that Paddy's still intact! You can get help. HRT. You just have to call the doctor. And exercising helps. That's why Wendy suggested the rambling. The one that she didn't go on. Right, let's, er, crack on with this housework, eh? Chas, you may as well go home. It's probably for the best. Sorry, again. - Menopause? - Well, I had to say something. Well, what was wrong with the truth? That was your chance to tell her, but you threw me under the bus instead. I can't tell her the truth now, it'd break her heart. And it's not breaking mine? This is hard for me, too, Faith. I hate to see you suffer. I know you do, love. But you're the only one I can turn to. And I want to support you, but trying to cope with this and keep it secret... I'm struggling, Faith. And I'm not sure how much more I can take. I'm sorry.
