Just had my third round of chemo for stage 2 breast cancer. At the same time, my entire family have had an enormous fallout, My Husband and My Sister had a huge argument and awful things were said. My Husband was extremely angry and aggressive with the way he spoke to her was unforgivable and there will never be a way for anyone to forgive and forget what has happened. He is extremely embarrassed and remorseful for his actions, but the damage has been done. I’m not sure I can ever forgive him, but he is the love of my life, the father of my children and I can’t imagine living my life without him. He is not a bad man.
My family are now trying to force me to leave my Husband of 20 years. I’ve been screamed and shouted at by my Mum, that if I don’t leave him, she look into getting my children taken away. All at a time when I am supposed to be prioritising my health for the sake of my children, and focusing on my recovery.
I can’t believe all of this has happened, and I feel so alone and isolated. I’m not sure there is any advice anyone can give, but I feel so alone right now and don’t know who I can talk to about all this. I’ve even looked into talking with the Samaritans as I’m so desperate, all whilst I’m trying to fight the biggest battle of my life. I’ve cried solidly for 4 days now, and it’s seriously taking its toll on my mental health. I know a positive mindset is so important for cancer sufferers recover, and I’m so worried the damage all of this is having on my chances of recovery.
