Hi
Just a bit of background. I have both my parents still here but elderly. Dad has dementia and Mum has anxiety, but are generally OK. Son has cystic fibrosis but is doing well has a full time job, friends etc.
My husband was diagnosed with CLL 2 years ago and was on watch and wait. He has now started treatment, is still working and treatment is going well. I feel utterly awful saying this but he has always been glass half empty where I've always been glass half full, but his moaning is starting to really get me down. For example he got red blotches on his face and instead of reading the contraindications of his medication (which it turns out is a really common side effect) Tells me it's melanoma. He complains about the hospital and if I tell him to call them and speak to someone he doesn't just complains to me and Im just drained.
I make sure mum and dad are OK take them shopping, pop in etc every day as there us no one else. I work full time, look after my son if he's unwell and I just feel done with it as if he can sort himself out but expects me to run around after him. If I say anything I don't care and am being unreasonable. He's 57 and Im 55 but feel drained my his moping about and it's getting to where I don't want to be in his company. He lost weight but he doesn't eat enough (if I put a plate of dinner in front of him he would eat it but if Im working in the office he will have beans on toast to go do a night shift) if I tell him he's not eating enough he tells me I don't know what Im on about.
Has anyone got any suggestions at all. If I mentioned support groups that would be a no from him
Thank you
