Hello im just looking for some advice was just wondering if anyone has been or is in a similiar situation.Two years ago i was diaognosed with stage 3 aggressive breast cancer i have 4 beautiful children who are my world.Im in a relationship of 8 years hes been supportive through it.But through to the cancer i lost my breast.But lately i have never felt so more alone i feel i am invisible and alone.He seems to have more interest in his mobile phone and social media then interacting with me never have i felt so alone hes literally breaking me.Also there has been lack of intimacy between us.Ive always suffered with body dysmorphia most of my life so have really low self esteem and the way our relationship is its having a very detrimental effect on me.Ive never cried so much i guess im looking for some advice.As i do not feel womanly anymore and im on the verge of walking
I think you should speak it Macmillan help line or your local Maggie's centre to access some support. Imagine with 4 children it's hard to make time for you adults to process what's happened over last two years. He might be afraid of hurting you, thinking you too exhausted/Ill etc. Reach out for help before making any major decisions xx
