how to cope when mums got cancer and we dont get on.

When I was young my father died of hodgkinsons disease. Then my mother got cancer of the ovarys.

she had them removed and all was well. Now im in my 40s and we have never been close. Not for the kack of trying. She just doesnt want to have coffee together or anything and if I call she just says why have you phoned.

cancer is back shes got pancreas cancer and they cant op cos shes got other probs aswel so its just a matter of time. For me though I cant sleep. Will she die before we can become friends. Im devastated ?????

  • Hi, I think all you can do is your best so that when your mum is no longer here you have no regrets.  We cant get on with everyone in life, even if they are family, but if you have tried your hardest then there isnt much you can do. I am sure she is probably afraid and it may be making her hide her feelings.

    I know this must be so difficult for you and I do wish you all the very best.
