Hi everyone, just after some advice. My partner is suffering from stage 2 cervical cancer.she is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
To cut to the chase.... She has never got on with my family. She has very bad mood swings as a result of her illness and this has recently come to a head with her focussing all her negativity on my mother they have had loads of bad arguments in the past and as a result have nothing to do with each other.
The problem now is she is now demanding I cut my mother out of my life completely and have no contact whatsoever or she will move out of the house and leave me for good.
Much as I love my partner and am trying to support her with her cancer, this is putting me in an impossible situation. She had said it's her or my mum and I have to choose
Sorry you find yourself in this position, as you have noted if feels impossible. Cancer treatment can often affect moods and in this case seems to be making what was a fairly bad situation worse.
It might be worth thinking about how you are feeling here and of course the impact on your mum and indeed the rest of your family too because it is very important for us as carers to ensure we have the support we need. If it helps might be worth chatting to one of the experts on our phone line here.
