My boyfriend's mother has cancer and I have been there to support him as much as possible, even when he says he doesn't want me to support him. My dad died of cancer so I understand deeply how he is feeling. My aunty, my fathers sister also died of cancer recently and he wasn't there for me at all. He just said oh a family member of his died and that's it. A friend of mine said because my aunty wasn't my mother the feeling is different. I was really close with her, should this even matter if she isn't my mother? Also I have been suffering really badly with depression and my partner is just in his own world, to the point I feel really neglected. I've tried my best to be there for him but he doesn't want me to because he feels that I cannot do anything. And he is never there for me. Am I being selfish wanting him to be there for me during the time his mother has cancer? I'm really torn and confused. When I confronted him about how I felt, he said I was making him angry and that he didn't have the time to be there for anyone.
