Hi
I’m new to this forum, and would like to talk to people about what me and my family are going thru.
A week ago my exwife was diagnosed with untreatable liver cancer. It shook me and my kids to the core.
I have a support system, which are my family from overseas.
My son is battling depression issues, he is 17 years old.
When this news about his mother happened, he now doesn’t want to talk about anything to do with his mother and her condition. He will simply say “stop, I don’t wanna talk about it”
I know it’s hard for him and his sister to see their mother like this, hell it’s hard for me.
We only been separated for months. I’m still trying to cope myself day by day. I can’t eat properly, specially being alone myself, it’s all I think about, my exwife and why is this happening to us.
But back to my son, this not talking about his mothers condition is a good way of dealing with it mentally.
As a father, yes I’m extremely worried about his mental state of mind.
And for my daughter, it’s the same way, but she seems stronger mentally. From what I see.
She is now taking over her household, and helping her mother, for a 17 year old, this is an immense responsibility.
This is my worry, the mental well being of my kids, seeing their mother like this. Specially when they don’t want to talk about it.
