Read the family statementJMO but I think the statement that she had serious alcohol issues in the past that had 'arisen again' imply chronic addiction as opposed to someone who just gets a bit over the top when had too many. Also the idea that her disappearance (hint: death) is explained by or contributed to by alcohol and menopause lean heavily to the suggestion that she took the kids to school, got drunk, and fell in the river.
However, it's not substantiated or evidenced, it's just a bread-crummed into a narrative. One that personally, I'm not buying.
I have no reason to disbelieve him:We have no way of knowing if PF called the media or they contacted him.
Can only think it means that her hormones were all over the place and made her feel hopelessRSBM
To my mind this is surprisingly definite, for the family to state Nikki's withdrawal from HRT treatment "ended up causing this crisis" - what does that indicate, I wonder?
No mention of any issues re alcoholRSBM

It's a very strangely-worded quote, isn't it? Is it implying that coming off HRT was to blame for this 'crisis'? And what exactly are they referring to when they say 'crisis'? I find what they're not saying here as interesting as what they ARE saying. To me -and this is JMO - this is a statement designed to carefully steer people into believing that the entire disappearance is based around hormonal imbalance which therefore led to alcohol issues. I still have red flags galore. JMO."Due to the peri menopause Nikki suffered with significant side effects such as brain fog, restless sleep and was taking HRT to help but this was giving her intense headaches which caused Nikki to stop taking the HRT thinking that may have helped her but only ended up causing this crisis."
" there are people out there speculating and threatening to sell stories about her" - Why on earth would you do this?! Contact 101, report what you know, and leave it at that ffs. The impact on her kids of this is ridiculously unfair.
Snap. You read into it as i do.It's a very strangely-worded quote, isn't it? Is it implying that coming off HRT was to blame for this 'crisis'?

So the family thinks she booked and is intentionally staying away? That's how I'm reading this.Nicola's family have released a statement via Lancashire Police, which reads:
"As a family, we were aware beforehand that Lancashire Police, last night, released a statement with some personal details about our Nikki.
"Although we know that Nikki would not have wanted this, there are people out there speculating and threatening to sell stories about her. This is appalling and needs to stop.
"The police know the truth about Nikki and now the public need to focus on finding her.
"Due to the peri menopause Nikki suffered with significant side effects such as brain fog, restless sleep and was taking HRT to help but this was giving her intense headaches which caused Nikki to stop taking the HRT thinking that may have helped her but only ended up causing this crisis.
"The public focus has to be on finding her and not making up wild theories about her personal life.
"Despite what some media outlets and individuals are suggesting, we are being updated daily and receive support from our family liaison officers.
"Nikki is such a wonderful daughter, sister , partner and mother and is missed dearly - we all need you back in our lives.
"Nikki, we hope you are reading this and know that we love you so much and your girls want a cuddle. We all need you home. You can reach out to us, or you can contact MissingPeople.org.uk. Don’t be scared, we all love you so very much."

I also find 'don't be scared' an interesting line. JMO.Snap. You read into it as i do.
Coming off HRT can trigger depression and anxiety. I don't believe you're meant to stop it cold turkey either.It's a very strangely-worded quote, isn't it?

This is so weird because HRT is the same hormones but at much lower doses than the normal combined oral contraceptive pill..RSBM

I'm on HRT and you're absolutely right. I have to get regular check ups. Just like antidepressants you never go cold turkey.Coming off HRT can trigger depression and anxiety. I don't believe you're meant to stop it cold turkey either.
JMO as no time to get sources.
ExactlyApparently people have taken from NB's linked in profile that she was 'not employed' for 9 years gap - one interpretation is she could have been struggling, another is that she may have been mothering her children and being a 'home-maker' as they say in the USA.
However, it strikes me that there are a plethora of other activities NB could have been undertaking that wouldn't necessarily be things to add into a CV on linked in as they add nothing to the career progression.
She could have been running a small home based business, doing 'menial' work (for want of a better word), doing something local within her community, maybe voluntary, or maybe studying a lot.
A 9 year gap doesn't mean she was unemployed / out of work / doing nothing in terms of career development.
I am really really really sorry for NB's parents and PA.
I hope this statement now puts the focus back on finding her. I really hope she is found safe. For the sake of her family, especially her daughters.
When you're menopausal you have a severe lack of estrogen which you replace in different doses depending on your needs. If you suddenly stop, your estrogen levels crash significantly causing horrible side effects like anxiety, depression, sweats and others.This is so weird because HRT is the same hormones but at much lower doses than the normal combined oral contraceptive pill..
