I’m currently caring for my partner and I’m struggling he’s been diagnosed as terminal and had a operation to remove the tumour but they think it’s come back waiting for a scan to confirm. I just carnt cope anymore. I dnt feel like his partner anymore I get stressed at all the time and talked to like crap I know he feels rubbish but dnt feel I can help him. I try everything to help but dsnt feel good enough. Am I the only one who feels like this
