Hi, just wondering if there's anyone out there who gets fed up and annoyed but also sad and depressed looking after someone with cancer. My mum in law has breast cancer and it really is taking it's toll on me. I basically have to go everywhere with her do all housework and make her tea and her son's tea who is my partner. The only reason is he has mental health issues and basically doesn't leave the house so I tend to feel alot of pressure on my shoulders at the moment and it's seriously upsetting. Sometimes I want to just scream and let everything out but I can't. Like I know she's in pain but I suffer from bad migraines but I have to power through it and carry on as normal. I'm a bit lost at the moment and don't know if I can carry on with it. At the end of the day I'm 19 years old and I should be out having fun but I can't. Someone please give me some advice and reassurance xxx

Hi I really hardly know how to answer. You have a lot on your plate, especially for one so young and it's easy to understand why you'd 'want to scream'. It's too much for one person. Your partner might have mental health issues but it sounds like he has you to do everything for him and that's not always a good thing. Might I suggest you call the helpline on 0808 808 0000 for some expert advice?

Hugs,
