She. Above.  My husband is still on Hormone Therapy and over the last month he has got exceedingly aggressive in how he treats me.  I have lost my brother to a other Cancer also last April 2020 and was unable to go to his funeral due to Lockdown. Also my brothers daughter lots her hubby to Oesophageal cancer this January 2021, so a very hard year for our family.  My husband has got extremely aggressive and swears a lot and has done for the last couple of years.  Is it the HT or is it me, he is on a very short fuse most of the time these days but it is wearing me down at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you Pray 

  • Please seek some help. I doubt it’s hormone therapy, I’m also on hormone. I suspect like me he’s struggling mentally coming to terms with what’s happening.  Still there’s no excuse, if you feel unsafe get help. 

  • I doubt it's hormone therapy alone.

    But HT could well be contributing to it. It could also be Covid isolation, fear about his prognosis, depression ... or many, many other things, most of which would almost certainly be treatable.

    And I agree with YoungMan; get help.

    Heinous

    If I can't beat this, I'm going for the draw.

    Meanwhile, my priority is to live while I have the option.

  • Hello

    With out a doubt, he’s gone into the why me situation and his anger is taken on the one nearest him. You definitely need to contact McMillan nurses. His situation maybe terminal, but everyone connected with this is under huge pressure.

    Your first point of call, so all his anger is aimed at you unfortunately, some times you need to look after yourself, your welfare and state of mind is just as important. 
    Try the nurses they do house calls and it sounds like you need them quickly.

    keep safe.
