I’m not sure where to turn or who to turn to anymore.
Today is the anniversary of my mother’s death. It’s hard every year and I must admit it never gets any easier. She was the one person I used to turn to for advice, the only person who has ever listened to me, I mean really listened and cared. Losing her was the single hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through and still going through to this day.
Fast forward a few years and I’m married now with kids, I love my kids and would do anything for them. I can’t be away from them, I’ve learnt that through the challenges I’ve faced and the things I’ve been through.
My wife, I thought she was this amazing person, she knew how tough I found it losing my Mum, she never met her but I thought she understood. Anyway, recently she lied about having cancer, the doctors suspected she had cancer but she didn’t. Why would someone so close to me lie about it? Especially knowing how close to home this all is. We split up over it and I was kept from the kids, she told them daddy was horrible as he left mummy while she had cancer and all sorts.
We got back together and she managed to convince me it was real again and she had it. I was there to support her and was finding it tough all over again. Then one day she said, my results have come back clear, I need no treatment and I don’t have cancer anymore. I took it at face value and we didn’t really say any more about it. She knows she was lying and I know it but it’s not spoke about. All she used to do is post about how she had cancer all over social media, since “she’s had her results” not one post, nothing to say she’s cancer clear. She’s not even told her parents she doesn’t have it anymore and it’s been 7 months, they still think she has it!!!
I know if I approach the subject we will split and I’ll lose my kids and I can’t go through that. It’s so hard to know what to do.
