Hi CaroS,

I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you're having with your family. Unfortunately families can react in strange ways in these situations, and there have been many others on this forum who have said similar things.

It's unclear why they may be acting like this - perhaps it is some sort of attention-seeking behaviour. Where you think they aren't telling the truth, maybe try to ignore it as much as possible and concentrate on yourself and your support for your husband.

It's of course important though that you get your own support too. If you feel you can't speak to your family, hopefully you have others around you to talk to. Either way, we're always here on this forum whenever you feel you need it. And there are also organisations such as Macmillan and Maggie's who can offer important support.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben
