you know who's there and who's not when you need them the most x

my family and a few friends have been very supportive since september last year,theres been a few ppl who havnt been the best support and i feel that ive lost some of the best support i could possibly have,the only one true person who i thought i could rely on,he never really understood the "ins" and "outs" of what was really going on,started to say ive become boring...a shadow of myself....down and gloomy...what the hell am i meant to do ...get the party poppers out and balloons and shout yippeeee!!!,ive realised that before i can become strong and be positive about this i need to come to terms with it first...has anyone lost the person you loved through this????              

wednesday 9th feb: im feeling a little bit better now ive got used to this site been chatting to a few ppl and i feel i little bit more positive about my forthcoming treatment,...all i need now is the most important person in my life (apart from my children) to wake up and realise whats going on and start supporting me the way he should do instead if changing the subject everytime it arises :( xx

monday 21st feburary: things have somewhat gone a little down since i last blogged,my friends list is slowly going down the pan,as for my partner,well the support there is wearing a little thin,he's there but isnt metaphorically speaking,im not sure what to do anymore i feel that im losing this battle and my main support isnt as supportive anymore.

    Hi, You must think of yourself and get yourself better. If he cant be there for you with whatever mood you are in then sod him, you are worth more than that. You deserve so much better.

    Hope it all goes ok for you. Take Care Love Kaz x

    "A true friend never gets in your way, unless you happen to be going down"

    Marie - maybe your partner is frightened - I know I am terrified but I would never let on - perhaps he thinks that by acting if "nothing has happened" he won't have to face it. I am not defending him because all I want to do is get Colin through this and have him fit and well again to watch the children grow up and I will support him in anyway I can but I do know that sometimes faced with such life changing news some people just want to block it out - has he spoken to anyone?

    Although we have had lots of messages of support and cards and "offers of help" we have 4 couples who have been full on in the last couple of weeks - visiting, cooking, - one even bought me a valentines card and chocs as they knew he would be able too - took it to the hospital for him to sign ............ you can probably count your true friends on one hand and if you can and they get on well with your partner perhaps you could get one of them to talk to him.

    Take care Nikki

    since i put this blog on things have rapidly gone down hill,i have yet lost more friends than i really do care to mention and yeah you are right nikki i can count in one hand the true friends and family i really do have left,but the ones i have left are treading on egg shells with me at the minute they really do not know what to say to me at times...it's hard,as for my "partner" i say that with inverted commas coz i shouldnt really say hes my partner anymore he's there allright but not in a loving kind of way which is tearing me up inside,i feel im losing him bit by bit ....day by day...everytime i phone him just to ask if hes ok or for a 5min chat he makes out hes busy or tries to hurry the conversation along so he can get off the phone,but then theres days where hes devoted to me makes sure im ok does things for me round the house etc,i went for a rare night out to my local the other night and you should have heard him talking to people making out he's there 100% no matter what... i thought to myself hold on!! a min...since when??? everytime i ask him to do anything to help he'll help me ok but you can tell im a burden to him but its like i said before what can you do when you love someone so much and cant be without them ...it's my first cycle on weds he's offered to be there look after the children and me when i get back...lets see if he lets me down hey?? thankyou for your kind words nikki    with love and hugs marie x x
