I’m new to the group but have been feeling lots of emotions recently and feel that this is the perfect place to say it all without any judgment.
My Mum has recently been diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. Since she was diagnosed, I haven’t really processed it as she hasn’t had any treatment but is due to have her Kidney removed in a few weeks. Because she doesn’t have any physical and obvious signs that she has cancer, I feel like I’m just blocking it out of my mind as it doesn’t feel real.
But I feel like everything in my life seems to be going on a downward spiral. My relationship is very rocky but I feel because I’m not emotional about my Mum all the time, he seems to think I’m fine, which I’m not. We may argue about things which have nothing to do with it but I don’t feel he’s thinking that maybe I’m just having a tough time at the moment.
Has anyone else experienced other things in their life taking a toll due to a family member being diagnosed? My Mum is my best friend so it’s something I’m not ready to deal with yet.
