My partner has cancer and is not well at all. He has been ill for 18 months and for all that time I have done absolutely everything.
he has 4 adult children who have done nothing to help. They can go weeks without contacting him. When they contact there is never any offer of help.
I am struggling emotionally - I have become an angry person - I am disgusted, tired mentally and physically and I have reached the point where I won’t be in their company.
I have tried numerous times to discuss the situation but my partner makes excuses for them or ignores me and says he isn’t well enough to deal with this.
he tells everyone that I am doing everything but I nii ok w feel I am just being used as a Carer as he never has my back.
I would appreciate honest thoughts and comments please
thank you in anticipation.
