Hi,
Fairly new to this forum but wanted to see if any individuals had the same sort of feelings. I am 25F and alongside my mum, take care of my terminally ill father. He was diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer and has been on treatment for a over a year.
I feel sad but sometimes, angry as well, angry at the immense responsibility on my shoulders, at missing out on my 20s after covid had taken so much of it already. and trying to navigate career, relationship and travel. Being a carer for my dad and having to be therapist for my mum is so draining as well as supporting my partner in the grief he feels after losing his dad at 19 (he's not 24). What I'm trying to say, is how do you stop being so angry? How do you stop resenting everyone? How do you cope with it all when I'm technically only a 5 year old adult. It seems an awful lot to deal with yet you can't say anything for fear of being selfish. I guess it's not about the parent with cancer but sometimes the people around them that gets affected.
