Wish I'd have died instead of my mother

I know it's a horrible thing to say but I'd rather it was me than her. She had cancer twice in four years and the second one, the brain tumour, killed her. Im stuck now with a father who never made me feel loved or wanted and a brother whose been nothing short of a bully to me. I'm stuck alone and now I just wish I'd died.

 

I do often feel suicidal, I can't think of her without seeing her in the bed or the care home. Im angry my father refused to honour any of her dying wishes and had the nerve to ask me to lie to her that we were taking her home so she could die in familiar surroundings. 

  • Hello Roxy1991

    While we understand you have been going through a lot following your mum’s death, we are a cancer charity and therefore we aren’t qualified to offer you the help and support you really need right now. It’s really good to hear that you’re getting counselling from the LGBT foundation and It would be worth asking them if they know of a more appropriate online forum where you can talk to others who understand or do phone Switchboard the LGBT organisation who have free helpline.

    We don’t believe Cancer Chat is the place for you at this time but we do wish you well and hope you get all the support you need. 

    Best wishes,
