Hi Amerly welcome to the forum and I am so very sorry to hear what is happening for you right now and how this is leaving you feeling. Im not entirely sure that people do deal with their partners diagnosis, but simply try as best they can to taka a day at a time and then another then another if that makes sense? None of this is easy so please do cut yourself some slack in all this.
Family are strange beasts, some good, some bad, some we could see far enough and a few loving and giving, so they are made up of all different types and I dont imagine yours will be any different. Is your Gp someone who you could chat with and see if they can maybe offer some support or refer to other agencies who could offer some support for you in the home?
The other thing I wanted to say is that the Macmillan Line are available for you to have a chat with one of the Advisors and just either sound off or see if they can suggest any help that may be available to support you to support your husband. 08088080000.
Sending some hugs your way for now. xxx
