Hello @Brownowl, I’m sorry to hear you’re not getting the support you need. Because as you said, you really need it right now. Your hubby does too, but you need it more. Recovering from chemo is hard enough, having a little girl to care for even harder, and then hubby on top of all that would be impossible. I think it might be time to pull in the big guns, aka the professionals. He prob needs to see someone about his drinking problem, and also about coping with your and his diagnoses. I know his is in the past, but he might be reliving some of it. I think maybe see your GP and ask for a referral for him to find someone and help him deal with all these issues. And to help you too. I’m not sure if you have reliable family and friends nearby, but if you do now is the time to ask for help. For both of you. Good luck and check in with your progress ♥️
