My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer 6 months ago. Since then my dad has been her primary care giver. Whenever I visit, Mum’s attitude to Dad is one of resentment and frustration that he is trying to live a somewhat normal life despite this big change in both of their lives. How can I broach this subject with Mum that it’s not fair to act this way? Is there any support that she could be given to talk this through that you know of?
