Hi I am just looking for someone to listen and some advice please, l have just found out my stepdad has mouth cancer his opp will be in a few weeks.. he is in shock and my mum is also.. I will be there for them and support them the best I can, also I have been living with my partner for 12 years, I told him the news and he said he understands as his brother has it many years back. I work full time as a support worker and since I have told my partner the news I just feel he isn’t supportive enough .. he is in pub around tea time and comes home a few hour later , I tried to tell him how upset I am about everything and I need his support he said my dad won’t die his mum will as she has dementia and I should think about his feelings and what’s he’s struggling with, his mum had dementia for the last few years and I have always been supportive, I just don’t understand why he’s being like this.. I am so close to my mum and I can’t talk to her as she has enough to deal with.. I have to stay strong for my family as I know it will be a long journey ahead but without my partners support and understanding his attitude is just adding to my stress. I have tired to tell him how his actions are effecting me but he ends up turning things around and then I get the silent treatment as if I have done something wrong.. my step dad is more important at the moment why can’t he seem to understand it’s not all about him.. am just needing someone to talk to x
