Hubby numerous stuff going on …but everything is looking really positive
so WHY is everything I do say or want is so negative with him , he always has something to say from
i cant drive
i cant wash pots properly
i dont know how to iron
why do you have to clean the house
why do you talk loud on the phone
the tv is too loud
the garden will look better when he’s able to do it
he doesn’t hug me anymore , but hugs the nurses
no birthday card this year …but buys goodies for the hospital staff
he’s grumpy as hell …but lovely with everyone else
he’s now started ignoring me …so yesterday I absolutely blew my stack …I didn’t sign up for this rubbish
his cancer treatment finished 18 months ago
Another treatment , that almost cost him his lower leg, he’ll probably be discharged on Thursday, has been a long 14 months worth of healing
he’s recently had a bowel cancer SCARE
but EVERYTHING is looking great after 2.5 years of HELL
im now actually thinking WHY is he treating me like this when I’ve been there for him every inch of the way …I’m even thinking DID HE, DOES HE ENJOY BEING ILL
we’ve been married 50 years, quite happily, and now I’m thinking …I don’t need this ..IM OFF
I know cancer is a bastard …but we’ve come through this , yes he has to have his checkups I get the nerves behind these …but it’s all looking GOOD
Oh my days …the times I’ve been woken in the night …it’s horrendous…caring for someone is the hardest job known to man , then we feel selfish because we’re not the ones that are ill …there’s always someone on these chats going through what we’re going through and it’s good to know that we’re not alone in how we’re feeling …rant away …we’re all here for each other xxx
So sorry to hear you're going through this. You are amazing, and you don't deserve this treatment at all, it's hideous. On a practical level make sure you look after yourself and spend some time out of the house if you can. And get a grip of the finances as soon as possible especially if you have a joint account so that you have some control of what's happening. This sounds a bit like coercive control to me... Take care.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
