Kezzerbird...Calling all carers for help

1 minute read time.

Guys the old bird needs some help. I have been with my partner for almost 12  years and since I was diagnosed in March 08 he has gone from being a caring gentle man into an acholic evil s**t and I have to be honest I hate him. Has you know I haven't been too good of late (I am slowing picking up) and the other night took the biscuit for me. I had gone to bed (tired on chemo) I asked him to chuck me up something and he could barely stand up he was so drunk and when I had a go I got 'Why don't you f*** off and I am not  taking that from anyone. That morning my Mac nurse had deguessed where I wanted to die and I had to speak with him and my daughter about this and I broke down. I need help in trying to understand where he is coming from because I can't fight cancer and him. I have told him to go if he can't cope. He is causing more problems than the cancer itself. I have been a carer many time to people I cared about. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP.....Love Carol xx

    Oh god, how awful, he obviously loves you and cant cope with whats going on, when drunk you loose all your senses, I think you both need some help and quick !  My heart goes out to you it is very difficult to cope and men are generally the weaker sex as we all know.  I hope you have some lovely friends and friends that are local to you that can step in and help you all out.  I am on line often if you wanna talk or send a message.  Take care my friend I am thinking of you xxxxxx big hugs xxx

  • Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry your guy is being such a (as you say) sh**. No excuses for him. Perhaps time apart will be good providing there is someone else who can care for you. As you say, he's  simply making matters worse and you can do without extra stress.

    Cyber hugs,

    Hi Carol I am so sorry that you are having to go through this as well as fighting cancer.

    If you are unhappy with your partner then you need to be strong and make him go!

    The end of your life should be free from any other worries other than what you have to deal with right now.

    As you know I lost my husband to this disease and the 4 years we knew he was going to die was horrendous more so than me getting a diagnosis of cancer.

    Luckily I was a strong person and I put my own feelings of dread aside and made my husband a priority. His wishes and needs came first even if I disagreed with them.

    Without knowing your partner I can't really comment on what he is going through. Your friends and family know him best what do they say?

    You said that in the beginning he was a caring gentle man. Well maybe the answer is there, he is so caring and so gentle that he cannot cope with the inevitable and he seeks strength from alcohol.

    I did the same thing for awhile after I lost my husband.

    That doesn't excuse his behaviour.

    Oh Carol my love I hope you can find a solution to this it has been going on too long and you deserve better.

    My heart is with you lots of love Julie xx
