Hello Carfax and welcome; what a terrible situation for you.  Have you discussed this with the doctor who is treating your partner - I don't know but maybe something could be presrcribed which would calm things down in your partner's brain.  You don't say the age of your young son - is he at all able to understand it is the illness causing his dad's unpleasantness?  Pardon me for asking you this but how would you feel about getting some respite care if your partner went into a hospice so things can settle down a bit.  I am sorry if my comments are not helpful but think you do need to talk to the medical staff about what can be done to ease the situation.  Please do keep in touch with us and let us know how things are going.  Annie

Hi 

What your feeling is only natural, my husband has terminal lung cancer and it's a battle for all of us. I have 3 girls, my youngest of is 14 and she finds it the hardest. My husband has his monents too, where I want to scream and shout but I don't because I know I need to be strong for him, myself and my girls. Sometimes I do resent the world, it moving on, while I feel I'm in some bad dream. Your husband must be feeling scared and anger too, I know my husband gets like that, he doesn't want to leave us, he knows that he's going to miss out in so much of my kids life and that's frustrating. It's ok to feel how you feel. I hope that you can talk to him about how you feel. I hope that your family are there to give you's support, you have to have some time for yourself too. My husband got diagnosed nearly 4 yrs ago and it's been a long and bumpy ride. It's important to make memories. I hope I've hoped in some small way xx Linda
