Joined this forum in desperation. My lifetime partner is like another person. Before we even knew it was cancer he did things and behaved in ways i’d never have thought possible. I will do anything for him and I care for him 24/7 and wouldn’t wish to do anything else. I cope with all the unpleasant things but it’s the knowing deliberate mean words that are breaking me. I know this is about him not me but I just can’t bear that our lifetime together will end like this. It’s as if all love from him has gone where I’m concerned. I genuinely have no support although we do have adult children. I will stay strong for him but this is a nightmare.
Hi JessR
Welcome to our community, I hope you find it both informative and supportive.
Sorry to hear about what your are going though, it can be easier to face cancer as a parnership but unfortunatly some people do end up very self focused and then it can be hard to give help or even for them to accept it.
Glad you found the community though, as it can be amazing how just typing things out can help us think more clearly and on here we have people who have been there before. Remember though if you need to talk the helpline is open 8am to 8pm 7 days a week - 0800 808 0000 and when it is closed you can always ring Samartins on 116 123.
<<hugs>>
