Cancer revealed to others

Hi Fresh-fruit 

Welcome to the forum . 

It has come up here before to be honest . Some overwhelmed by anxiety and fear and other relatives managed to transform the situation to a position where they were actually receiving attention from it .

My own mum does not really like anything going up on social media but is fine as this is anonymous. It’s her health so I honour that .

Is your mum respectful in other areas ?

Court 

No, she lacks boundaries in other areas too.  I have now completely cut her out of my life as this feels like the safest thing to do.  Her telling my extended family about my diagnosis is as raw today as when she first did it.  Right now, I can't forgive her.

Hi there Fresh Fruit 

Im so sorry that you are feeling this pain and that you’re estranged from your mother

I hope that you have a close circle of support
