Not only was the chemo and blood
count taking a toll on me and my body but I could sense it was affecting my
husband as well. He would work and eight
hour day come home and then take care of me and the kids. I would be on the couch resting and I could
hear him in the kitchen at times complaining about how he worked all day and
then had to come home to this. I would
pretend I was sleeping and did not hear the things he was complaining about. He
would say I have to take care of the kids, give them a bath, and do the
dishes. He would just go on and on. I
felt like he was being selfish. I had
cancer and I did not wish this on myself.
I would rather be the one taking care of the kids and the house. I did a better job at it anyway. I don’t know if my husband was just venting
or he really did mean the things he said.
Either way what he had said hurt me.
I felt like I was dying inside and he did not care. His opinion was that he worked all day and
provided the finances so; I should take care of everything else. I did not agree with that especially when I am
fighting cancer. He said these things off and on throughout
the last few weeks of my treatment. I
did not confront him about what he had been saying I could not talk to him
about my cancer anyway. He never wanted
to talk about it. If friends and
neighbors would ask about my cancer, I would speak freely and it seemed to
upset my husband when I did this.
He was in denial.
