hello , my name is lesley . My mum was diagnosed last year with small cell lung cancer which has now metastasised to her brain . She has been given only a few weeks to live . She is being cared for in the local hospice and myself my sister and grandchildren all visit her every day from 8am- 7 pm .
This is difficult as I have 3 children age 11, 13and 15 .
I work but my hours can be flexible . My husband is not only being unsupportive but down right nasty. He grew up in a family that didn’t show love and he hadn’t seen his mum and dad for 2 years . We are the opposite, we love each other openly which he cannot understand . I was due to be home last night at 6pm but due to my mum having a bad turn didn’t leave the hospice until 7pm . My husband accuses me of not dealing with my responsibilities and neglecting the children . I explained the reason and there was no sympathy at all , I shouted at him “ my mother is dying “ and his answer was yes and don’t I know it . I had to leave the house and really don’t know how to deal with this . I just need to talk to someone hence my post . X
