Hi all - well I think I can talk about this now - as you all know it is tough to watch & hear our loved ones going this life crisis (cancer)....you know I can't help but be compassionate as you all are but when it comes right down to it - there truly is NOT a damn thing we can do which is the most difficult part of the whole situation - out of our hands / out of our control...talk , be there, comfort etc. just does NOT seem like enough at times, it so doesn't. I am sure you all have experienced the same thing.
As I said earlier not good news about my son's dad and I suppose it hit him last Friday, he was having a real bad day., all the way around., he couldn't swallow Special K cereal soaked in milk., that was how the day started and well it just got worse...I was working @ home (bookkeeping) on computer, number crunching and after 20-25 mins. I said god can you please ....he freaked out, started screaming and yelling (well to his ability screaming) I am trying to die here. I had to do calculatr thing over 3 times and I told him it is NOT the coughing or choking that is bugging me it is you sitting right beside me and swearing your face off in between each cough - that is most bothersome., I am doing calculations. He had all other areas to be but nope....he normally eats in the living room so....he went to work.
Came home 430ish with a bottle of wine (Large) and I didn't say anything and he's like mary about this morning - I said don't worry about it, all the swearing was what was getting me he likes it is not getting better, my body is dying. Throat is getting worse, mouth too and my body is dying on me., cancer is still there and it's not any better. My body is giving up on me., Im losing weight like crazy and if I do stuff on one day the next day I am so tired., I am not going to sit at home no way but my body is not working for me anymore. Iasked did you hear from a dr today or someone? He said no and I said well lets wait for the results from dr and tests ok - you dont know anything yet - I know my body he said :(
I had nothing to say - nothing at all. Hurt my heart that I could not give him encouragement or hope or nothing - I couldn't period. I also couldn't hug him at all either, which so much sucked, I left and went @ sat at river and left him to drink his wine (he is acknowleding what his body is doing - maybe not accepting at this stage but) .
Over last month and half he has been doing all these sexual innuedos towards me, lots and it is driving me crazy., I told him enough - stop. I'm not in the head space you are & I don't appreciate it - he's like you know I'm joking right and I know you can handle come on mary - you know that. But it just keeps on - told him he is being disresctful. so no it is not a joke and I told him that and was going to move out Nov but can't due to his memory and health and my son too.
I'm worried this has gone to his brain, seriously., his memory (I think at times he forgets) we are no longer together., it's been 16 yrs but ??? We do not sleep in same bed nor kiss or anything like that., hug when he is having a hard time but nothing else. Just being in same house since mid June well good and no not really (I know some will not understand what I'm saying).
He did this beginning of week (innuendo) and our son heard and he got up and left. He hasn't done any since then so our son hearing this - is making a difference. He starts and stops in mid sentence when I give him the look.
He's so not pleased definitely not happy and so frustrated and hates his body - I so get that.
After him talking last Fri about his body dying - I left - had too. I have never heard him speak nor say die ever and I also never saw or heard before the NO HOPE in his words, I could not comfort him (didnt have any words) and I couldn't even hug him because I did NOT want to give him the wrong idea - so I left....hated that and I did not even want to come home - sucked. I cried at rive for 30 mins. talked to family and one friend on phone then I came home 930ish and he had a lot of the wine gone - can't say nothing to him about that it's been way over a year since he drank so I'm not going to deny him that when he is feeling so friggin bad- nope. Nothing was said, he went to bed at 1030.
Next day., he slept til 1130 then my family took him out for brucnh then him and I went to see a movie - it was an ok day. No words need to be expressed now. I think its been building up so it was good to get out.
Its been better since and yes he had one real bad day last friday which he so has the right to have for sure - just sucked I could not comfort him when he needed most.
I'm sure alot on this site have felt the same way - that is why I'm sharing this now., what their goign through - nothing you can do. I pray pray pray and send love an light energy to him and ask his angels to be around him to assist with his emotions and feelings. He does NOT want or need help - he states - they do nothing for him (Counsellors or psychiatrists etc) no frigin way, your paying someone to listen to you - why bother. So that avenue is not viable for him anyway you cant force someone to get help so....just sharing that's all - which is a form of healing too.
Sending good vibes/energy to you all - what is - is what is., Not much I can do, its in creators hands - I can just be here that is all for my son and his dad.
