I've joined this forum after a google search. My search asked 'do people with colon cancer become nasty and aggressive'?
Lots of results, many of which were similar to my experience, stories relating to daughters and mothers. My situation is father and daughter.
I've always had a great relationship with my dad, really easy going and supportive. Since his colon caner diagnosis he has turned on me, to the point now where I don't have it in me anymore to stay in contact.
It's breaking my heart on every level, 'why me dad'? All I have ever done is everything you have ever asked of me. I've supported and defended you, stuck by you, stuck up for you, done all the jobs you needed doing but couldn't... ...... anything you asked basically. But you call me up to scream unjustified abuse, accuse me of things I haven't done and pushed me so far away, there is no coming back.
There are lots of other side issues, the abuse of my mum by my brother, toxic relationships in the family, you couldn't make it up. When I was reading some of the forum posts, people talked about how different and better it was with the friends family and how they wished it was like that for them. I grew up with those thoughts too and I suppose for my own survival I've thought, why would the end be any different to the beginning and how it's always been!
Not sure I've done or thought anything yet that's helping me :(
